Hi, I'm hoping you would be able to help. I just took the real GMAT and scored 740 (V41, Q49, IR 8)
To be honest I'm a little upset as my last two official practice tests had been 760 (V35-36). I suppose the nerves must have gotten to me as I did feel like the verbal was difficult.
I'm aiming for Harvard. I'm a 28 year old female who has been working in a FTSE 100 company for 5 years in a tech role. I went to one of the best unis in the UK and have an equivalent of a 4.0
What would you do?

First of all, congratulations for getting a great GMAT score. If your aim is Harvard, then you definitely shouldn't. You already have a 97 percentile. 760-800 is 99 percentile. I have seen people getting rejected with even a perfect 800. it won't make much of a difference your gmat score is amazing. I think it'd be nice if you focus on other aspects of your applications right now

Thanks a lot! Do you know how likely it is for the official score report to be different to the unofficial one I got on the test day as well?
