Admissions Gmat Question

Dear bk136587,

Congratulations on your GMAT score! I would not be overly concerned with your breakdown or feel that your quant is low. There are some schools that look for your raw score on the quant to be 50+, but that does not mean they reject those whose raw scores are lower than 50. A 47 raw score is quite good, so I think you should focus your efforts on the rest of your application (just my opinion).

Best of luck,
Lisa

Any top 10 program is looking for applicants to have high numbers. As I stated previously, your 47 is not going to be an automatic rejection and you will be viewed as having a good GMAT with your 750. If you also have a high GPA and did well in your quantitative coursework, then you should have enough in your profile to demonstrate quantitative aptitude.

Whether or not you retake the GMAT is up to you. A higher score won't hurt you, but you have to weigh the potential benefit against the costs (like your time and money). A 750 is a great score that few people hit and is hard to replicate. You can always take it and wait to send the scores until after you know how you did.

Regards,
Lisa
