I think a 90th percentile total would be more accurate. That would mean 680 GMAT

So, is 680 the current score that equates to the 90th percentile or the "old" score prior to October?

It is the new percentile as I did my test in November and I got the new breakdown sheet

The answer to your question is, NO. I do not think it has been that a drastic re-rating.

While there are not fixed thresholds, students admitted to the program generally score above the 90th percentile on both the quantitative and verbal scales.

Seems clear to me: Current PhD students and/or alumni have scored >= 730. You could always post it in the verbal/RC section for debate... :wink: :lol:

Spoke to the assistant in the PhD program office and she confirmed that the score is 680. She further indicated that an applicant would not stand a very good chance with a score lower than 640.

Thanks everyone.
