Hi everyone,
I am a third-year BA Economics (with Finance modules) student at a top UK university (top 6-7) originally from France and I am currently applying to the Masters in Finance of ESSEC, ESCP and Paris-Dauphine. My average for both first and second years are +70% (i.e. First-class honours) and I had the opportunity to take part to a summer internship last year in an Accounting and Audit cabinet in Paris.
I also have an association background with a position held in the committee of the Fintech association of my university.
I took the GMAT yesterday because it is required for both ESSEC and ESCP and I scored in the 50th percentile for both Verbal and Integrated Reasoning. However, the Quant section (the one I was the best at) went horribly wrong and I don't know how but I scored a 32 (15th percentile)... Giving an outrageous overall score of 510.
The hosts of the events I attended for MiF of ESSEC and ESCP testified and said that the GMAT is far from being the only factor in the application and that even with a low score you could get in. However, I don't have time to take the GMAT again and considering how low this score is, I wonder what my chances are now.
I will not communicate the score to Dauphine btw (it is not required).
If you guys could tell me what you think my chances are now, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot

You can definitely apply, but I wouldn't be terribly hopeful.
The hosts of the event are correct in telling you that the GMAT is only one factor and that your application is evaluated holistically. However, what they aren't mentioning is that there are certain scores/percentiles that could be serious barriers to being accepted. A 32nd percentile on the Quant will inevitably raise questions even if the rest of your profile is strong.
So, you could apply but that might be a fool's errand. Your best bet is to retake the exam and apply next year. It would be no different than applying and being rejected even if you didn't have a weak GMAT score. Make a contingency plan and really focus all of your efforts on the GMAT. Figure out why you did poorly and what you can to improve your score this go around.
I realize that's probably not the advice you want to hear, but I just can't see you overcoming this score unless there was a truly extenuating set of circumstances or somehow the school waitlisted you and said if you retook the exam they would consider moving up up/off the list.
