Hi! This is another low quant/high verbal post, but with an educational component that I haven't seen posted often.
I had a 44V (98%)/39Q (35%)/680 Total on the GMAT, which I know isn't good. I don't think that more practice will result in a higher score. I've had trouble with timing and being flustered throughout my practice and on the exam. However, I do have a master's from a top 10 school that required quite a lot of math (economics, econometrics, finance), and did ok (3.67 GPA in quant classes). Ironically, I satisfied the requirements for the quantitative methods specialization. I also passed the CFA Level I exam on my first try. My first job out of school was also quantitative, which one of my recommendations will address.
I plan to concentration in operational risk management or something similar. I'm having trouble knowing where I will be competitive and am wondering if programs ranked in the 15-50 range are out of reach. I'm thinking UT Austin, Emory, Vanderbilt and University of Washington on the high end.
Any advice would be appreciated!

"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."
