Hello wonderful people of gmatclub!
I am not your typical applicant. I survived a mild traumatic brain injury three years ago, which damaged the part of my brain that does math. I did not think I would ever be able to study finance again, however, I am currently enrolled in a Master of Science in Finance program and have a 3.8 GPA. I am immensely proud of what I have accomplished in three short years. I am entitled to disability accommodations; however I do not need them, and am at the top of my class. I am working with one of my professors on a research project, I have a Wharton WRDS account, I learned Python and R in the past 6 months, and feel very confident that I can succeed in a mid-rank PhD program.
Except for the GMAT.
I get a V39 with 25-40 MINUTES LEFT.
I score ~35 quant with no time left. I have been studying the quant from day 1 and I have NOT studied the verbal AT ALL. I struggle with number properties and arithmetic. So, I am pacing a 580-620 GMAT score with AWA 6 and IR 6-7.
I have testing that shows my pre-accident IQ was 128 and post accident is 11x (I forget 112-116). I just can't show it on the GMAT or the GRE!
I do not believe that I can raise my quant. Most schools have a 'minimum GMAT' for their PhD Finance programs and I will likely miss the bar. My target school (top 100 but less than 70) requires a 650 GMAT.
What should I do?
Best,
Arbitrage
