Hi,

I'm hoping to get an assessment of my chances of getting into a top 5 school.

Below is my profile:

Asian American female
corporate attorney for past few years

GMAT: 740 (Q48, V42)

BA in economics from top 5 liberal arts college
JD from top 10 law school

Undergraduate GPA: 3.75

I'm worried about my quant score since I haven't done much quant-related work since college. Should I take the GMAT again to try and get that part of my score up? I just don't want my quant score to be the reason my application is weak.

Thanks for any advice!

Academically speaking you are in great shape. Your quant score combined with your undergraduate GPA in economics will be enough to assure the adcom that you are capable of handling a rigorous quantitative curriculum.

In addition to your academics, it's important that you round out your application with extracurricular activities, a solid career trajectory and specific reasons for seeking your MBA including your short and long term goals.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
