Hi,
I am an Indian female engineering completed by Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from US with GPA 3.9/4.0. I graduated in the top 5% of my graduating class. I have 4 years work experience in the Middle- East in pre-sales and engineering design role. During the course of 4 years I have worked on high budget projects and various international brands from Germany, Italy, China, Spain, US, UK providing electrical designs and proposing electrical products for various commercial and industrial projects. I have had volunteering experience with Habitat for Humanity.
The first time I took GMAT, I scored 530 (Q39, V25). I know I messed up on the verbal because I didn't time myself well. I decided to retake it and I focused both on verbal and quant while preparing again. I put more emphasis on quant since I knew I wasn't doing really good on it from what I saw on my practice exams
My second attempt- I scored 610 (Q39, V34).
I got As on all of my calculus and statistics courses back on school. So, I'm really confused- why am I performing so badly on quant. I just don't understand, despite going through all the prep materials, focusing on my weak areas and frequently taking practice exams, I continue to score bad on my quant.
My target schools are Rotman, Schulich, NUS. Their average GMAT is around 650 and I'm 40-60 points lower.
To be honest, at this point, I don't know if i have the energy or the resolve to sit and study again. I work 11 hrs 5 days a week. Only time i get to study is during the weekends.
I was wondering, if my good performance on my undergrad calc and statisitcs courses will help to leverage the low quant GMAT score?
Low quant GMAT, MBA admission

It's possible, check the range of scores of the admitted students for the schools you are applying. Clearly your undergrad is strong, which will help compensate. cheers, alex
