I'm applying to various Master of Science in Finance programs. My GMAT score is acceptable (710). However, my quant score is relatively low (45 or 63%). Most of the programs I'm looking at have an average score of around 680-730, so my 710 is within range for most schools. However, my quant score is on the lower side.
If it makes a difference, I don't have much of a quantitative background (single variable calc, intro stats, intro probability) and a bunch of accounting courses. I've gotten A grades in all my math courses and mostly A/A- grades in my accounting courses.
I'm hesitant to use the optional essay as I don't want to sound whiny. However, I also know my quant score could be higher for the schools I'm looking at.
appreciate any opinions!
