I'd love some help. I don't know many people who've taken the GMAT, so I don't have a lot of context. Your comments always seem very helpful and honest.
I'm in my mid-30s and plan to apply to a few full-time one-year programs. I'm looking at Lehigh and Katz in particular. I work in sales for a book publisher. My undergrad is in English and German. I never took an accounting or finance class, but working in sales, I deal with sales reports, P&Ls, and the finance department on a regular basis.
I studied for the GMAT for about 6 weeks. The quant section was always going to be difficult for me, so I did three sessions with a math tutor. I took the test yesterday and got a 640: Q35 (26 percentile) and V42 (96 percentile). I'm disappointed in my low quant score, but it was never much higher than that in my practice tests.
I've been hoping that a mediocre-decent score, combined with my long work history and a compelling essay would be good enough to get me into the school of my choice (hopefully even with a scholarship). But I haven't seen enough mid-career stories to know if that's the case. Is my low quant score going to doom my application, even though I'm not applying to top-tier schools? (I wanted to apply to Notre Dame, but I think they'd definitely hold that quant score against me.)

wjhallberg - Welcome to GMAT Club and congratulations on getting a 640 on the GMAT with a terrific verbal score of V42. Your Quant score could have been improved significantly with the right strategies and concepts. Improve the quant score is far easier than improving the verbal score. Are you planning to retake? That said, I would advise you to profile evaluation topic so that our admissions consultants could evaluate your profile especially since you have 14 years of work experience.

Thank you! I'd really rather not retake... I looked at the Ask Admission Consultants forums, but I found all of the different boards! I will dig in more and post over there.
