Good GMAT overall but low AWA and Quant
Hi,
I took the GMAT last week and got a 700 (Q47 & V39) with a 8 points on IR and 4 points on the AWA. On my profile I can add that I am an engineer from the best engineering school in Chile (I think it is around the top 3 of Latin America), I have worked on finance and will have with 5 years of experience when starting the program.
On Quant I got a lower score than expected (I got Q48-49 on the official prep tests) and did not get to finish the AWA properly. This was compensated with a higher than expected Verbal score of V39 (thanks to e-GMAT platform I must add), getting me to the 700 score that I was aiming to.
I wanted to know what chances of getting to an MBA in the London Business School do I have considering these scores? Does this low Quant but high Verbal and really low AWA of 4 (17 percentile) leave LBS MBA out of my reach. This was the first time I took the GMAT, should I retake it? Needless to say, if I retake it I would not be able to submit my application on the first round (Sept 13th) but would have to wait to the 2nd round of application (Jan 4th 2020).
If you think I should apply with these scores, Should I say anything about my low Quant and AWA in my essays? If yes, what do you think I should say?
Thank you for your comments and opinions.

Score wise no doubt, it is a good score. However, B-Schools look into a holistic profile, not into a single aspect. Yes, they might ask questions about your score in adcom interviews. You need to prepare with reasonable and realistic answers. In AWA part 4 is a decent score. However, being from a non-English country you need to submit IELTS or TOFEL score.
