Hi all, I've been reading the forums for a while, it's a great resource! I took the GMAT today after a few months of preparation. I scored a 730 (Q46 V44). Although I'm definitely happy with the overall 730 (which is a 96 percentile), I'm concerned about the Q46 (which is a 68 percentile). I work in private equity and have a 3.5 in liberal arts, so was hoping to nail the quant. Most of my practice scores were in the Q48-Q50 range. My admissions consultant is telling me that business schools like to see "balanced" scores, and that this is balanced, though I was under the impression that "balanced" was based on percentiles and not the 1-51 score. I'm curious what people think about this idea of a "balanced" score. I hate to say it, but I'm considering re-taking it, though most people around me are telling me I'm crazy...
