Hey,
I plan to apply to top MBA programs for the class of 2018 (HBS, Columbia, Booth, MIT, LBS..).
I believe my application is strong - a strong background both personal and professional.
I have extensive leadership and managerial experience from the military, very strong reccomndations and a very strong GPA (poli. scie. and philosophy major). I also believe I have a unique personal story and background.
I took the GMAT twice - first go was 690 and second was 710.
My 710 breakdown was Q44 V42 IR8 AWA6
The advice I seek is in regards to my low quant score. How bad is it? Do I have a chance at all if I don't improve it? and if so.. how much of a stretch would it be?
Thank you so much for you help!

I would suggest that if you are concerned about your quant score, and are applying in another year, I would consider taking some quant-related classes prior to your application. This will help you transition to the MBA experience more easily, while also signally to the Adcom you recognize a potential weakness, and are doing something about it. cheers, alex

I don't think 44 on the quant is disastrous, and the overall score is decent. If you are committed to applying R1, then there is little you can do. A 45 or above would probably be ideal, so if you think you can improve that score, you might want to consider R2 ? cheers, alex
