Hi Everyone, Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!
Short background: over the last 2+ years I have taken 4 tests (590->630->660->690) in total + 2 scores that I cancelled. Yesterday I finally broke 700 wall and scored 710 (q48/v39). I'm not super happy with the score (especially considering that I've never scored less than 730 on gmatprep mock tests (retakes+new)), but I'm getting old (for mba) + very tired.
I understand that M7 schools generally prefer balanced score and stronger quant. On the previous score that I cancelled (September) I had 680 with q50 and v33. Given stronger quant, should I re-instate the score or just submit the current one with q48? On almost all previous score I had 48. Really need input, especially from experts.
I'm MBB consultant with 3,5 years in Big 4, international degree, originally from post-soviet union space currently living in UAE.
Summa Cum Laude degree from Canada in IT, 4-5 courses in math (discrete, stats etc with A+ grades), overall GPA 8.23/9.0 + Economics degree (distance learning - had some spare time
Thank you
Best regards,
Dauren

Hey Dauren
WOW! What a GMAT journey!! I'm very impressed but I also understand why you might be a little tired.
So a Quant score like 48 is really great. 50 of course is even better. But schools really only care about your highest total GMAT score -- that's the one that goes into their averages. They will of course glance through the other scores and see your journey.
Honestly, it doesn't hurt you at all to have the 680 with the 50Q there, so I'd recommend "uncancelling" it. (Sorry, I think I just made up a word.) That way, you get a little credit for that 50!
Hope that helps,
Krista
