I wrote the GMAT last month and got a disappointing Quant Score, here is the breakdown:
Quant: 39 ( 46 %)
Verbal: 41(93 %)
Total : 660 (80%)
However, I took the GRE in September 2009 and receive the following scores:
Quant 700 (71%)
Verbal 490 (60%)
I would have loved to retake the GMAT, but I am facing time constraint, so I am wondering if it's better for me to submit my GRE score instead of GMAT? Since my Quant score is better on the GMAT, I was thinking it's a better option, but I could be wrong.
I have quoted a modified version of my previous post below, which includes additional information. Thanks very much
I am a 27 year old woman (Southern African); I went to a very well regarded college in the US. I am currently worried about my Quant GMAT score, but I would rather apply if I have some chances of getting in. here is my profile for evaluation:
GPA: 3.9, Double Majored in Math and Econ with a solid 4.0 in Math.
GMAT: 660, Quant: 39 ( 46 %) Verbal: 41(93 %)
GRE: Quant 700 (71%) Verbal 490 (60%)
Work Experience: 3 years of work experience in Econ consulting, with a focus on quantitative projects
Target Schools: Cornell Johnson, Carnegie Mellon Tepper,Duke, Yale, Columbia, Stern
I also do volunteer work whenever time permits; I do other several activities outside of work.
Why MBA: I am planning to switch to management consulting with a focus on consumer goods and luxury retail or management within the hospitality industry. My dream is to start an event planning business and a line of retail and bridal shops in Africa.
I have been on my own since my father at 17. My mom died in the 80s. I was left with nothing, no school fees or house to live. I figure everything out by myself, finished high school, and found my way to college in the US. (It's a long story, but this is a very high level summary)
I would like to know if I am being realistic on my target schools and if you have any suggestions for me.
Thanks very much!
