Hi turtle7113, your work background and ECs are interesting but I am concerned about your quant score. 40 is around the 43%ile and I would like for you to get that up a bit to let them know you can handle the math. Try a new strategy if needed, like a study group in person or online, or a tutor. Might consider GRE as well if additional GMAT effort doesn't get results. Plan B would be to do MBAMath.com - this will help give them confidence you can handle the math as well.

Can you share more information about yourself and your profile? What is the quant score?

Yes of course, my quant was 40.

In terms of my background, I have been working for 10 years in both media strategy and SaaS sales in tech. I have a strong background in mentoring (teach classes at my alma mater and have been doing big brothers and big sisters for 6 years) and am currently the COO of a small start up in NYC.
