Wanted to get your thoughts on re-taking the gmat as after fairly minimal study, I got a 720-45 (98%) on verbal and 44 (69%) on quant and 6.0 on awa. I am concerned as I am aiming for the top bschools (harvard, stanford, kellog) and I know 80% tends to be the cut-off for quant. I was testing closer to high 70s for quant during prep.
In terms of background, I went to Columbia, undergrad gpa 3.9 with major in economics-philosophy. good grades in a few calculus, statistics and intro econ classes (e.g., microeconomics).
Have 4 yrs work experience, 3 at a top tier strategy consulting firm and 1 in strategic planning in consumer products/luxury goods. have done very well in my jobs and have been given leadership positions not usually given to those of a similar tenure.
STILL...i am very concerned about my gmat quant score.
Do you think i should re-take the gmat to raise my quant scores, which means taking time away from applications or will my background make up for the score?
