Hi, Amy
I wanted to get your opinion on this. I've heard a lot made out of this idea that most top schools strongly prefer a GMAT quant score >80th p.c. in order to gauge an applicant's comfort with the MBA curriculum.
Would you say this by itself is a sufficient indicator that an applicant will be able to handle the more quantitative aspects of the MBA curriculum?
I managed a q47 (81st p.c.) in my overall GMAT score of 740 but despite a 3.5 GPA, I have rather poor grades in the calculus (B's) and applied math classes (a D+) I took in college.
Do you foresee this being a major concern? I don't intent to pursue a concentration in Finance or the like, but would want/need to take a few quantitative classes in b-school nonetheless.
Thanks.
