Hello all, I am about to take the real GMAT and my Gmat Prep results were: Q46, V44 - Overall 720.
I was quite happy to get a +700 grade (since my 2 last shots were at 680) but I am worried about my unbalanced scores. I did well in Verbal but not to good in Quant.

I am Argentine with a Business Economics Major, worked in Consulting (PWC), Startups and Digital Advertising, mainly doing Business Development.

I aim to get into a top ten school.

My question is: what do top ten schools look at in GMAT? Should I be confident about my overall score or worried about the unbalance between both sections?

any suggestions?

thanks a lot!
this forum has been of GREAT help to me so far!! :-D

regards!
