Low quant

by MBAhopeful23 » Wed Aug 12, 2015 9:32 am
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!

Hello there,
And good to hear from you.
So the good news is that low quant is not a "Strike" against you that would disqualify. Really, if the rest of your profile is strong, you should have no reason to fear the low quant, although you should at least be prepared to deal with the issue - meaning by showing your amazing quant skills elsewhere (like at work, other exams, whatever).

Hope this helps!
Best,
JF
