Split advice 50v 45q [#permalink] New post   20 May 2014, 22:01
So I took the gmats and lost track of time on the quant and didn't finish so ended up wit a 45 66th percentile and a 50v putting me at 750 overall was wondering if anyone had thoughts on if the low quant is going to ding me at top-5 schools esp finance focused ones (Wharton and booth). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.:

Wow. That's a high Verbal score. I rarely see that.
I don't think there is shame in retaking though having such an unusual split, you may be an attractive applicant in a sea of otherwise, "boring" Q49+
Here is one example: members/member-76523.html (Quant 41 at Booth) but she was a marketing person.

I would probably retake because it seems to be "easy" to improve your score based on your feedback and Quant is very competitive. Also if you are a finance person, it is almost a must to reclaim your honor ...

Tuck isn't one of your listed schools, but when I spoke to adcom they said they have a dotted-line cutoff at 70% for each section. It's not an absolute cut-off, but at least 70% is what they like to see. I would imagine the "finance schools" would have a similar or higher standard.

Thanks for the quick responses. Ya I was really hoping not to have to retake it as I am happy with my overall score of 750 and feel even with a better math which I was practice testing closer to 80 percentile (so not all that good either way) I a, unsure if I'll top 750. I am also a few months out of GMAT mode having moved onto my CFA lvl 2 which I aim doing in June (and hope helps alleviate quant concerns). Would it be helpful to post and improved quant squire even wit a lower overall? Wonder how that works....

You should share your secret of V-50, seriously its the first time I am seeing this kind of score in Verbal.

If you decide to retake, good luck :)

Your quant score is casting some doubts, so if you can pull it up to 48 or 49, you should be good.
Q49, V42 gave me 750, so with your Verbal you should be able to easily top that. Wanna bet? :-)

Additionally, the sooner you retake, the better your chances of highest possible scores (20th June?). Just keep an eye on the clock this time.
