Hi, had a strange experience yesterday and I'm wondering if I should even bother applying to any schools or just retake the GMAT. If I decide to retake, I don't know if I have enough time to improve before the end of round three.
Yesterday I took the GMAT for the first time after studying for about 7 weeks 8-10 hours a day (as I made the decision to go to an in-person grad school around the beginning of January) and got a 700 - V47/48, (don't remember exactly which), Q37, and an IR of 4. I am still waiting on the AWA score.
I am extremely confused as I took several practice tests beforehand and the lowest I got in quant was a q42 and my average was closer to 44. Additionally, on all the practice tests I took, I was getting an 8 or a 9 in IR.
While my verbal score is strong and 700 isn't bad overall, do you think it is even worth applying with that low of a quant score? I am planning on going into consulting, and I'm looking to Stern,Cornell, Fuqua, or Mendoza as my main choices.
I am currently finishing a master's online but I'm still going for an in-person MBA due to the networking etc.
Due to personal issues it would be nearly impossible for me to wait a whole year and try then, but I don't know if it makes sense at all to try to take it again in a month and just put on my applications that I am retaking it then.
Apologies for the long post - I'm feeling very blindsided after those subscores and would appreciate any constructive input.

If your average was closer to Q44, it may be worth retaking. You can simply cancel the score if it's not "better". If you decide to give it another go, getting the ESR to see which Quant subtopics to perhaps focus on may be helpful.
All the best,
P.S. Might be worth listing the schools that would allow you to update your scores after applying. Reading gmatclub posts that give advice to applicants about how to mitigate low Q scores could also be useful.
