I recently got a 710 on my GMAT, but with very low Quant. (45th percentile quant, 99th percentile verbal).
I am applying first round to USC and UCLA. The rest of my application is very strong (Started my own socially-conscious company at 22, 3.0 at an ivy league school, great essay, etc).
Will this put me in good standing to get into either of these schools?
Hi. It should be enough. Every applicant is more than just the score. Your background seems to be very diverse and unique and you don’t seem to be from a highly over represented group of engineers.
You can try the
WAMC tool for a quick automatic profile evaluation. I also would not worry too much about your quantum score. Some schools used to ask for a certain threshold but then they realized that they were actually hurting their diversity by making mandates like that. With quan scores being so inflated, anything above Q 44 is perfectly fine. (With the caveat that you’re not a math person and your scores within range. It does not look good when you’re a finance person then you have a Q 45. That just says there’s something wrong with your finance skills… 😎). But if you are not from a quant background and you’re not planning to go there, who cares.
