Hi
dv357,
Thank you for your post. Can you share a bit more about your background (community engagement, professional ambitions, etc.)?
While 690 GMAT score is a good score, I would recommend retaking the GMAT trying to increase not only your overall score but also your quant. It is particularly important if you are interested in remaining in finance and targeting the finance track at Wharton or express an objective to pursue finance at HBS. Despite a strong GPA, the already highly competitive programs look at Quant in particular.
I do recommend you also pay close attention to your story an how you present your case to the admissions team. You will need to really focus on how an MBA will help you on your professional journey. I am happy to discuss your profile further. If interested, please
reach out.
Good luck!

Just got done taking the GMAT and am a bit disappointed with a 690. I got a 720 and 750 on the 2 GMAC practice tests (although did worse on a couple of the
Manhattan Prep ones). I got only 50th percentile on Quant, but 93rd on Verbal.
I went to IU/Kelley School of Business (3.89 GPA), have 2 years in investment banking, and 2 years in strategy/private equity at a "fly under the radar" family office.
How disappointed should I be with a 690? Would that be enough to get me into a Harvard/Wharton/etc.?
