Hi,

I just took my GMAT today and got a score of 710 (q=47 and v=41). The percentile scores are 77% and 92% respectively. My quant scores are especially depressing since I messed up with time management and did not recover (I got a 780/800 for quant in GRE so I know that I could have done way better and was expecting an overall score in the vicinity of 760). I am hoping to apply to GSB but not sure if I need to take GMAT again. My profile is as follows:

Indian female with 5 years experience in the software industry. For the last 3 years, I have worked in product management at a top technology company and have been consistenly getting excellent reviews (top 20% of talent in the company). My undergrad GPA is 3.6 and I captained a women's basketball team for my college during that time.

What are my chances at Stanford? Any advice on what to do next?

Thank you!

Hello,

It's a tough call, not black and white. The 710 is a bit low for Stanford, especially given your demographic and industry groups, though it would not by any means raise concerns or questions - just that Stanford has such high GMAT. Your score, with everything else absolutely outstandin,g would certainly give you a chance, but if you can raise the score, I think it would help, looking at the situation holistically.
