Hello HJort,

Thanks in advance for your help. I have a GMAT question, yes you guessed it :)

I scored 700, which i am proud of. I think its a competitive score that puts me in ballpark of top 10 universities. The break up however concerns me a little - Q45 (78-percentile) and V40 (90-percentile). It's a general perception that top 10 schools like at least 80-percentile on both sections. Does a 78 on Q work against me or is it not a big enough deal. I have BS and MS in Civil Engineering. Undergrad - 72%, graduate gpa - 3.8
Took four math classes during undergrad and scored C, A, A, and B grades. I have 5-6 years of experience. I can write strong essays and will get decent recos. Is it worth trying to increase my Q score. I know i can do it but not sure if a 730 with a greater than 80-percentile on Q helps me over my existing 700. Any help will be greatly apprciated. Thanks.

What is ur background?

If you from an engineering background
please dont mind me being rude
your quant score is not good
I personally feel that there could be a big room for improvement
my personal opinion is that for an engineer anything leass then 50 in quant is below his capabilities.

If however u are from the humanities side you score is good

No offence taken Venky. I am an engineer by training. I know there is a scope for improvement. That was not my question though. The question is knowing that i have an engineering background and the math grades that i mentioned before, will that put the fear of adcom to rest as far as my quant skills are concerned. Or will a 720 with 82-percentile on quant assuming same verbal score, help me any. Thanks.

The quant score should be fine in combination with your academjc background.
