Can GPA or Work Exp compensate Low Quant Score?

by Curiousrick » Tue Oct 31, 2006 7:09 am

Hi Stacy

I took the GMAT not too long ago and scored a higher Verbal score than a Quant score. My quant score was at 65%. If my GPA is pretty good from a Tier 1 American University, would my quant coursework compensate for low GMAT quant score? Overall score is 650.

Also what are considered quant courses? I've taken Calculus, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry courses with good marks. I'm not sure if the science courses are considered quant though.

Thanks for any insight you can provide on this!!

Rick

It would be great of you could raise your Quant score. If not, they will look at your transcript alongside your GMAT, so high grades in quant classes can appease concerns.

Calculus is an important quant class. Others that are good for bschool are Accounting, Statistics, Finance. You may want to take an accounting class now. The science courses are not as relevant, though a high GPA will be important to demonstrate your general academic abilities.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
