Congrats joemama142000 , for your very good score. Maybe you can do the GMAT better, but is it really required. No one cares about gmat score once you are in a business school. I feel 670 is a good enough score to get you into the best schools. Maybe you should try and find that out first.

Hey,

Congratulations!

seems like you've identified your weakness and are ready to train it; that's why you'll cross 700 next time...

And... I want to thank you for the love that you're giving :)

joemama,

First of all Congratulations on getting a great score! Great job!

The number of questions that you posted speaks volumes of your determination to improve your Quant. You deserve every bit of 49in Q and 50 is not too far either.

Focus on Verbal and a month from now everyone will be congratulating you for your 700+ score!

thanks himalaya, bewakoof, vivek, professor, remgeo, allabout, giddi, selene. You guys are math genuises and have definately helped me out. I dont think i could have done it without your help and encouragement. Thanks!!!! :beer

remego-I agree that a 670 is competitively "sufficient" and that gmat score doesnt matter once you get in. In reality it doesnt matter what score i get and im under no pressure. However, I am treating this as a goal. It may seem pointless to some people and an inefficient use of time. However, im in too deep. If i gave up now, i would be living the rest of my life doing the same thing. Never reaching my goals, just missing out and settling.-which has been the pattern sofar. I plan to end that streak. Thus, this goal is much deeper. Granted a 700 wont help my chances much but it will help a little. There are many variables that are considered in the admission process. Just because you know someone that got into harvard with a 500 gmat score doesnt mean you yourself will. That person might have 15 years of experience or have great recommendations from alumni/board of admissions or was successful in other areas. It just depends on the person. Im just trying to increase my chances for the future. In addition, if i do end up going to b-school, i believe the gmat score will have an influence in applying for a job. especially in ibanking, pe, hedge funds, consulting. Some employers require that you ahve above a certain score. And not having that could put you at a disadvantage. Same with law/med school for lsat/mcat. All things else being equal, for top job professions, the world is just that competitive.

Hi joe, your perseverance is admirable. I too was on a quest to reach 700+ more than 2 years ago and it is definitely possible, especially with your mindset. You are a source of inspiration for many in this forum I am sure and do stick around even after your gmat is done. It is people like you which this forum needs to carry on its mission of helping others achieve their higher education goals.

Hm.. I can see that more than anything else, it is to satisfy yourself and your confidence that you can do much better. With your never say die attitude, i am sure you will do very well. Wish you good luck.

thanks guys,

dutsitt it is good to see you again. The math forum seems empty without you.

paul-its success stories such as yours that are a source of inspiration to joes like me. Without these, i would be much less motivated.

remego-good luck next time, we can do it!
