So I took my first GMAT ever last Sunday and got a decent unofficial score, I do not know my IR or AWA scores yet obviously.
My question without searching much (I am sorry for this but I am at work and it is a helluva busy week) is this: How important for, let's say LSE or Wharton, is your GMAT score, are the business admissions as mechanical as law school ones (also have a 176 LSAT)? As in, realistically what is my approximate percentage chance of gaining admission to such a program? (The number should represent your opinion about the percentage share of the GMAT score in a holistic admissions package)
RANT: Not being able to review the items / answers in the GMAT you took. I have no idea how on Earth I missed some on Quant, and I really need to see the question that tripped me up

All applications are read holistically. I heard a good metaphor just the other day about the gmat. Having a good GMAT score is like being really tall. Being tall isn't the reason you're in the NBA, but it certainly helps! So the GMAT is only one part of a larger story, and you haven't told us enough about yours to get advice.
The only person I've seen give percentage chances is Sandy https://poetsandquants.com/2011/08/04/do ... at-school/
He's pretty humorous, if quite cynical.
You do know your GMAT sore is not "decent" but exceptional, right? You should be very happy and you have a shot at any top tier school. What's important is your essays, recommenders, and work history now. You've gotten yourself into the door, now dance the magic dance!
