Hi there,
I took the GMAT last Friday and got a low 560, with a quite good Q 44 and a very low V 23 - in all my practice tests I scored between 590 and 640.
I am gonna applicate to the Master of Management at Graduate School of Business and Economics, University of Melbourne.
The entry requirements are:
- undergraduate degree with minimum overall GPA (65% as compared to the UoM grades);
- IELTS, 6.5 overall and minimum 6 in every bands;
- personal statement;
- GMAT: the average is 610. (Some alumni told me that it is required as a normal achievement).
My profile is:
-International student with Italian undergraduate degree;
-Two years of work experience as business developer in an manufacturing company (we is not a requirement, but I should mention it in the personal statement);
-IELTS: waiting for the result;
-GMAT: 560 (Q 44, V 23).
Do you think with a good IELTS it is possible to compensate a low GMAT Verbal score? In such a course has it more weight the Quantitative score or should the Q and the V be balanced?
Given the GMAT average, the course, the school, do I have any chance to get an offer with my GMAT score or should I retake the test?
Thank you
Gio

Hi, Gio. I do feel that you need to boost your GMAT verbal score to prove that you can keep up with the class work. The IELTS is certainly part of that equation but the GMAT better assesses your ability to not only understand English but analyze and draw conclusions in English. While I do not believe that you need to score significantly higher, I do feel that a score closer to a 30 (or above) in the verbal section would assuage the admissions committee's concerns.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your answer. I am truly confident that boosting my Verbal score would not be so difficult, as in my practice tests I scored between 28-33. However, my doubt concerning how important is the GMAT in my target school is based on the fact that they require the GMAT only if you are an international student. Australian students and students who have already studied at least two years in Australia are not require to submit the GMAT. So I do not know whether it is worth to retake the test just to boost the verbal score closer to 30 or try to put emphasis on the other aspects in the personal statement.
