Took the big test yesterday and got a 680 (44Q, 38V). I'm pretty disappointed, as I was averaging around 720-730 on the last 4 CATs I took, GMAT prep included. For most of my practices I was averaging around 44-46 on verbal and 41-43 on quant. Somehow I dropped quite a bit on verbal and was slightly better than usual on quant. I'm dumbfounded.
Trying to decide now whether or not to retake- I'm coming from a nonprofit background and have no quantitative course work in college and no finance background post-college. I'm looking to apply to top-10 schools and I'm concerned that I'm at the very bottom edge of the mean for their GMAT scores. Then again, I have a solid GPA from a top-10 liberal arts college showing a great track record in reading and writing. Should I let it go? Retake it? Any thoughts are appreciated.
