Re: IS the score BALANCE IMPORTANT?
JDKster, My research has shown that the thresholds are more like 80%+ rather than 85%...Either way, you have a great score that will not preclude your admission at any schools. It's the total package that schools are looking for. The GMAT is more of a screening tool than anything else, and will not ...

Re: Looks pretty solid
Paxton, Extremely helpful. You confirmed what I thought about the GMAT...While it's not an absolutely unblievable score, it's sufficient enough for the top schools that they will actually consider my application (as in, it won't keep me out).

Impact of 80-80

720 (Q49 V38)
Q49 - 88th Percentile V38 - 83rd Percentile 720 - 95th Percentile Well, I'm done. I was absolutely exhausted (and hungry) by the end of the exam, which I honestly could FEEL affecting me on the verbal section. A little bit of pre-test nerves, and my first Quant question was very difficult, but recov...
