I am a bit concerned about my GMAT score as it is below the 80/80 cutoff but I have undergraduate courses in statistics and calculus and deal with finance at my current job. Am I setting reasonable expectations for myself? I put a lot of effort into the GMAT and am not confident that I can score much higher. I am willing to try but would rather put time into my applications if it reasonable to do so. Thanks in advance.
