Did I beat the GMAT? (690 Q39 V44)

by topspin20 » Mon Sep 16, 2013 9:41 am
Total - 690 (87%)
Verbal - 44 (98%)
Quant - 39 (46%)
IR - 7 (82%)
AW - 5.5 (80%)

I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to at least get a 40 on the quant side. I have a liberal arts background, so I guess it is not surprising that my score is pretty pedestrian compared with other GMAT takers.

I am not applying to elite programs, (the two schools on my list are Penn State and Arizona State) but I am hoping on securing a fairly large amount of merit-based financial aid. I'm interested in pursuing a supply chain management focus.

How will my quant score affect my chances? I know it is above the median, but is it too low to be considered competitive for merit scholarships? Will my strong Integrated Reasoning help me in that regard?

Hi topspin20,

First off, 690 is a great score, so congratulations. Since your questions seem more "admissions-based", you might consider posting these questions in the Admissions Consultants Forum. You're certainly in good shape to apply at Penn State and Arizona State, so that shouldn't be a concern. My suspicion is that the particular scholarships that you'll be looking into will be based on a number of factors, not just your GMAT score.
