Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi!

I just took the GMAT today and scored poorly in quant (660: Q40, V41). Since I work as an engineer AND that my GPA is average, I am afraid it will raise red flags. I was hoping to look into scholarships but I can imagine that stronger GMAT scores are required.

I think I could improve my score by retaking the exam (I used to score around 45-50 in quant during MGMAT prep tests) but it would still require hard work and I am wondering if it is worth doing so.

I am a French native speaker and I have been working for the past three years in Japan (the working-language is Japanese).
Although my extracurricular activities are limited compared to US standards I think that my overall profile is quite unusual and I hoped it could make up for the low quant score. Besides there isn't much time before the admission deadlines and I still have a lot to do for the essays.

I am quite confused and would be glad to here your recommendations. Many thanks!
