Hi stan3544,

A score 'requirement' that includes hitting the 50th percentile in each of the 4 individual sections of the GMAT (and in the Overall Score) is an odd request. While it's certainly possible that the specific School that you're interested in might require that applicants achieve those results, it's also possible that you've received incorrect information (or misinterpreted the information that you were given). Does the School provide this information 'in writing' (perhaps on its website?)?

Ok, now i am starting to doubt what i really heard over the phone. The thing is that when my application was denied i received a letter stating that: "...... The admissions committee is looking for students to bring with them a solid undergraduate background, along with GMAT scores near the 50th percentile". So at first i didn't pay attention to the word "scores", thought it was a total score, but i asked them specifically what do they mean by "scores". So yes, they told me i should strive to get this kind of balance in all the sections. I was really surprised myself. I guess i'll have to clarify it one more time, via e-mail this time, probably will look like an oaf, but no big deal :)
