Hello Everyone,
I finally took the GMAT yesterday after 5 weeks of preparation. I spent 4 days on the verbal and the rest on the quant. I finished up with:
42 / 72nd percentile on the quant
47 / 99th percentile on the verbal
740 / 97th percentile overall.
It's a little weird that I scored so low on the math but still somehow got in the top 3% overall. Does this mean that the huge majority of people who take the GMAT do well in either the verbal or the quant, but rarely in both?
I was pretty disappointed with the quant. Was scoring 80 - 85th percentile in practice. I'm 90% sure I could get a better score if I take the GMAT again, as I doubt my score would drop in the English but I know I could bring my math up significantly. Is a 740 good enough to get into pretty much anywhere I want or is it worth taking the GMAT again if I know I can score better? What are your thoughts?
NB: I'm applying only to UCLA and to USC.

i think for those two schools your GMAT is more than sufficient, especially if you have quant coursework/experience. If not then maybe there would be some concerns on the quant score.
Great verbal score by the way ... thats lights out

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Overall score-wise: high verbal/low quant > low verbal/high quant
I think if you reverse the percentiles, you'd get somewhere around a 51/32 which hovers around 700.
Nonetheless, congrats on a great score.
