Hi,
I recently took the GMAT for the 3rd time (1st time 680, 2nd time 690, 3rd time 700) and was disappointed bc I had been practice testing at 740-760 the whole time (which is why I took it 3x). My quant was 40 (50-something percentile) and verbal was 99 percentile. I'm worried about the distribution of my score, as I don't think it reflects my analytical capabilities. I am interested in Stanford primarily. Can you please look at my profile and let me know your thoughts?
Undergrad GPA: 3.75, accounting major at Big 10 school (top ranked in major when I was there)
- tutored finance & accounting for professor for 2 years
- president and treasurer of campus club and greek organization, respectively
Strategy and finance at luxury retail company - 1 year
- involved in real estate strategy, strategic market growth, international market expansion, led design and implementation of new financial planning system, work across all major functional teams for comprehensive approach to business
- traveled to HK to train international teams on new financial planning system
- will have (hopefully) strong rec from here
Investment banking analyst in consumer & retail group - 2 years
- strong financial modeling skills, understanding of financial implications of transactions, worked on several complex deals and with several different product groups
- worked in London and NY offices
- will have (hopefully) strong rec from here
In this hyper competitive year, how much will my uneven distribution of scores hurt me? Also, as I've already taken the GMAT 3x, what do you think my best course of action is?
Your thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
