Hi,
I sat for the GMAT yesterday and received a 700. I was somewhat disappointed with my quant score. I received on verbal a 44 (97th percentile) and on quant a 42 (59th percentile). I had been receiving on average a 730 on the practice exams with a 44 on verbal and a 46-47 on quant. Should I retake it if my target schools are Harvard, Wharton, Columbia, Chicago, Stanford and the likes? Specifically, I would like to attend Wharton.
A little bit about my profile. I graduated from Southern Methodist University in Texas with a 3.85. I received two degrees. One in Finance and one in Economics(where my concentration was econometrics). I also received several distinctions along the way and participated in several honors programs. I just graduated and will be working at a strong energy investment bank for 2-3 years before I apply. Im especially disappointed on the quant section when considering most of my undergraduate studies were not high level mathematics, but still quant in nature.
Thanks for all your advice.
