Hi I am a little concerned that my GMAT score is too low for Columbia. I am applying to the accelerated program. I just sat the exam today and scored 670 (Quant 48/ Verbal 34). Is it high enough that it won't instantly rule me out? Should I sit it again?
I studied law at Columbia and did the LL.M program where I was there as a Fulbright Scholar. I came ranked 1 in law in Sydney and 1 in my accounting degree. I hope that they will see that as a 4.0. I am an Aussie. I am working as a M&A lawyer in London and have about 3-4 years working experience - 2 in London and 1+ bit in Sydney.
Am I just being paranoid about my GMAT score? Do you think I will need to sit it again? Will the fact I studie at Columbia be of help, even though I got fairly average scores (around a B+, B).
Any advice you give would be very helpful.
Best wishes
Tony

Tony,
Your GMAT score is right on the border. It certainly won't rule you out automatically, but it could make your acceptance less likely. The good news is that your quant score is strong and you have plenty of evidence of verbal ability through your law degree and LLM.
So no, you're not paranoid. Whether you take it again or not should at least partially depend on whether you believe you can raise it. Most schools take the highest score, but they see all scores. So retaking is likely to help you, but I can't say there is no downside. I usually discourage border-line GMATs from retakes unless they are reasonably confident that they can raise their score. If you feel you can raise it, then you should probably retake.
Good luck!
