I have had trouble finding discussions about GMAT score advice for those applying to Professional/Part Time programs.
I will have worked as an engineer for almost 3 years by the time I apply.
My GMAT score was 710 overall, and the breakdown is:
- V 44
- Q 43 (I seriously struggle with timing on this section AND on test day, I lost 3 minutes as I returned from a break late because the palm scanner malfunctioned for about 5 minutes and would not recognize me. On practice tests I routinely scored 42-44)
- IR 4 (way lower than expected - on practice tests I have routinely scored 7-8. I'm not sure what happened here; I think I struggled too long on the first few questions and again ran into timing problems.)
So my questions are:
- Is my relatively low Q score okay? I have an engineering degree and work as an engineer, so I'm hoping it would be obvious that I have advanced mathematics knowledge and skills, just not testing strength.
- Is my bombed IR okay? Will this combined with the lower Quant raise a red flag?
I will be applying to Pittsburgh area schools - Katz, Tepper, Robert Morris, Duquesne. I think my overall score should be okay, but I'm worried about the breakdown and the low IR.
I also have some time before I will apply - I could study for 2-3 more months in an attempt to improve. I might be over-analyzing this, but I hate not feeling that I did the absolute best I could and leaving it at that!
Any advice would help! Thanks in advance

Hi, Kudos for your 710 score. However, Quant score looks little odd. It may issue with the top league B-Schools. But your mentioned schools will not have much issue with your quant, be prepare for the question regarding score. All the best

Your overall GMAT score is really good for a part-time program. Usually part time programs have a lower standards since the competition is much more regional with exception of a few programs such as Haas and perhaps Wharton.
However I would agree that your Quan score looks questionable for an engineer. Sorry. Your verbal score looks amazing for an engineer. Are you sure you want to be an engineer in the long run?
The schools you have mentioned, you should not have any issues whatsoever with your scores or a need to retake. I would recommend that you reach out to the outcome from Tepper and Katz and check with them if they see any issues. You can easily mention that your clan score is obviously too low to reflect your real abilities because of the reasons you’ve mentioned but at the same time it’s a pain to take another test so would they recommend? Do they recommend a retake or they have no concerns with the score?
