Hi,
I just took the GMAT, and I got a 740, consisting of a 43 (70%) on the quantitative section and a 49 (99%) on the verbal section. I just graduated from a top ten Ivy League school with a 3.86 GPA in Philosophy, and I took a bunch of quantitative courses: Calculus (A), Economics (A), Introduction to Statistics (A+), Introduction to Accounting and Finance (A+), and Chemistry (A). I am starting a job in June at a top ten investment bank in equity research, and I don't plan on applying to b-school for at least a couple of years.
Given my quantitative coursework and quantitative job, should I retake the GMAT with the hope of reaching 80% on the quantitative section? (I prepared a lot for the test already, and I do think I could do better than 70% but I am by no means a certain 80%.)
Thanks,
Josh
