hi all, am relatively late to the gmat application game, but i took the gmat recently and scored 710 (Q44 V42). I am aiming for M7 (wharton and columbia as top choices, may try at H), have a 3.3 from one of Columbia/Penn and am an URM Male. I would like to focus on my essays at this point, but am a bit worried about my quant score. I did not have the most quant background in undergrad but my job is quite quanty. Should I just focus on essays during these next 6 weeks?

What is your IR score? Also, what is your major and any mathematical coursework that can point your excellence? Alternatively you can bring up to the table the nature of your work experience + recommendations covering that. Also, you may check with admission office if there are any pre-requisites that you can complete( to cover for any lapse), before starting the program. Good luck with your application process!

The re-take option is there if you think you can squeeze another in without too much worry. Another option is to think about how you can mitigate the Quant through stuff outside the GMAT.

Hi randompigeon,

At this point, since your time is limited, I think it makes sense to focus on your apps. Also, as has been mentioned, why don't you see if you can take the GMAT one last time after you submit your applications? That way you can focus on just your apps now and then spend the time you need to take one last crack at the GMAT.
