Hi everyone,

so I did the GMAT yesterday and unfortunately it was a disaster. I got 690 points in the end but with a Q42 which is shocking and V41.

I want to do my master in finance and originally planned to apply to LSE, HEC (why not giving it a shot), SSE, CBS, RSM, and Bocconi. Obviously, this score makes admission at some of these unis impossible. Despite my terrible quant score I still think that I am generally good with math and I do think that I could improve a lot in this section if I took the test another time. However, studying for the GMAT while writing my thesis might be a challenge.

So my question would be if anyone has advice on whether there are possibilities to get into a good finance master with this score or whether I should take the test again.

Regarding my profile: I am in my third year of Economics and Business Economics at Maastricht University. My current GPA is 8.6/10. I participate in the Honours Programme and will finish most likely cum laude (in case that is of any value). Unfortunately, I have done no internships so far.

Thank you very much for possible advice
