Is a good Quant Score enough to apply to MSc Finance?

Hi,

I just took my GMAT yesterday and was less than satisfied. Below is my breakdown.

660 (V: 29, Q: 50).

I am thinking of applying to MSc Finance courses at the following universities. I know that MSc Finances are quantitative in nature. So, in view of my strong quant score, will that help me in my application?

London School of Economics
Warwick Business School
Imperial College of London
HEC Paris
Manchester Business School


Thanks for your comment. =)

Dear sunnyguest,

You did score well on the quant, which will be helpful, but your verbal score is average. Since you are applying to programs instructed in English, you need to make sure your communication skills are strong in your applications.

Good luck,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your feedback!

How can I show that my communication skills are strong in my application?

Do I have to retake the GMAT to get a higher Verbal score or shall I work on my essays and ask my supervisors to comment on my communication skills during work?
