Hi All,
I am new to GMAT Club. I took the GMAT yesterday (9/13/14) and got a 640. The breakdown of my score is as follows: IR - 8, Quant - 39 (43rd percentile), and Verbal - 38 (85th percentile). I understand that most admissions folks focus on the core 800 scale score, and that having too big of a difference between quant and verbal is not a great thing.
A little bit about my background: For undergrad, I went to a University of California school and my cumulative GPA was 3.41. I currently work for a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, and have been there for 4 years. During my tenure, I've had two promotions. I am entrusted with a majority of the responsibilities on my team. In addition, I train many of the new hires frequently (pretty much every new class we've had, I've trained), and I also do a good amount of community service.
I am interested in applying to the following schools: University of Indiana, University of Wisconsin at Madison, and Boston College. I was wondering if anyone could give me insight as to what my chances may be of getting in. My GMAT score is not too far off of each schools' average, and I've also read posts stating that it's also important to look at the 80% range of GMAT scores for the schools. Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
