Hi,
I took the GMAT last week and scored a fairly disappointing 620 (34Q/42V). I'm proud of my verbal score but am worried that my quant score is way too low. On practice tests I scored in the 90+ percentile consistently on the verbal but I have never scored higher than a 36 on the math.
I'm a 26 year old female with 4 years of work experience with an NGO working in international development. I have lived and worked in Africa and in Haiti after the earthquake and have substantial experience managing projects/programs. I studied Anthropology at undergrad and haven't taken a math class since highschool, so I know that quant skills are my weakness as an MBA applicant.
My "reach" schools include Haas (where I really have my heart set on going) and Duke. I'm also applying to a couple of "middle-range" schools like UNC and to American University as my safety school.
I worked really hard to get the 620 and am not sure I'd be able to do better than 660 (at best)! I work full-time and travel frequently for work, so it has been difficult finding time to study. I wanted to apply to Haas Round 2 at the end of November, but I wonder if it would be wiser to retake the GMAT in the next couple of months and apply to Haas Round 3- hopefully with a better score!
I really appreciate any advice from anyone out there!!
Thanks
Hanna
