Sorry if this is too far out of scope for this site in which case I can close the topic (or a mod), but I've been looking to take my GMAT prep seriously but I'm not sure there's much point. My GPA is like 3 flat from a school recruiters won't know in a field not considered conventionally brutal (non STEM), my WE is also lacking. I am late twenties. Been trying to crack the job market for stuff that would push my career further, but having real trouble during the pandemic.
Wondering if anyone has an idea if any eventual score is good enough to get decent outcomes given this. if you're willing to network hard from the get go in business school.
Sorry I know this forum is focused on just the test, but we're all trying to get MBAs so I thought I'd give asking a shot. If GMAT score is pointless given my background I don't want to invest a lot of time and money into it.
To make it a bit more on topic my test result is:
IR: Scaled 8, Percentile 93
Verbal: Scaled 41, Percentile 94 [27/36 - SC 7/14, CR 8/8, RC 12/14]
Quantitative: Scaled 44, Percentile 52 [21/10 - DS 8/13, PS 13/18]
Scaled 700, Percentile 88
SC was all by feel so I'm hoping with concentrated study I could reasonably push my verbal a bit higher.
Quant is all over the place. I don't think I have a super strong grounding in math (public school here doesn't teach math as well as in some countries), but I'm getting a decent enough score that following say the entire TTP Quant section seems like maybe the wrong way to go about it?
If anyone has some recommendations of stuff to check out given where I'm losing marks I appreciate the advice. Especially interested in potential schools that would consider a boring late 20s splitter, but are high enough in rankings that networking there might give me some chance. Or if it's likely something where MBA or a particular GMAT score won't make much difference rather know that ahead of time.
Anyways thanks for any help. Good luck to everyone in achieving their goals.

Hi Splitopia,
Since much of what you are dicussing is Admissions-related, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
From your post, it's not clear what your big-picture goals are; if you want to work in a particular industry or graduate with a specific type of MBA, then you should start by putting together a list of Schools that match those goals. From there, you could likely whittle-down the list a bit (at this step, the Admissions Experts should be able to define how your Overall profile might be assessed) - and then add additional Schools/Programs as you get a better idea of where you would have a reasonable chance of receiving an invite.
