Hi,
I took GMAT today (31-Aug-14). I got a total score of 690. Sectionwise breakup of score is as follows: Quant - 51, Verbal - 31 and IR - 7.
I plan to apply this year in round 2 applications. I have not yet finalized the schools.
I am very much worried because there is vast difference between my Quant score and Verbal score. I have heard that there should be a balance between both the scores. However, I have 51 in Quant, which is a rare score. So, do I get advantage of that in my applications? Or will I be penalised for the steep difference between Verbal and Quant scores?
In IR, the score of 7 seems to be pretty good. However, from what I know right now B-schools are not giving too much importance to IR scores. I score just has to be average or above average for them. So, will there be no particular advantage for me in case of score 7 out of 8?

Dear Nilesh:
Firstly, we want you to feel good that the GMAT score of 690 is NOT a bad score. It is in the competitive range of most business schools. Regarding the break-up, most of the candidates from non-native countries encounter similar challenges. Therefore, the schools look at the profile in a holistic way before making any judgements. Your profile and background is important and then the GMAT score plays a vital role. For example, if you have strong engg. undergrad, then a bad Quant score doesn't mean much. Likewise, you come from arts background, then the good Quant score is a positive indicator. In ascertaining your intellectual capability, the academics scores + the GMAT score are looked at inclusively and not in isolation.
In addition, what is important is to admissions process is your pitch (story why schools should look at your profile), what makes you unique - career plan, leadership/team skills, why MBA now, why specific business school?
Regarding the school shortlisting, we recommend a match of your career goals and how the skills can be developed at the respective business schools.
