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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
