I have taken the GMAT three times with my scores all ranging from 650-680. For some reason even though I majored in a heavy quant major and worked in Finance (PE and Hedge Funds) for last 5 years I cannot get over the GMAT quant hurdle. I am not sure if I should take it again, or just apply to schools. MY quant percentile was 70% while verbal was 88%.
Age: 27
School: 3.6 top US university majoring in Economics minoring in Accounting
WE: 2 years at a top Venture Capital firm and 3 years at a hedge fund.
Extra: Volunteered teaching math, accounting at a school in India, working with organization to create business plan for corporate fundraising. Started a dance troup.
Goals: already raised small seed capital to start my own fund focusing on emerging market strategy, need bschool to vet business plan and increase international network (raising funds from a specific background, need help with how to market idea etc)
Schools: Stanford, Insead, NYU, Berkeley, UCLA
I just want to submit the best recommendation possible. I have strong work experience but fear that quant score will really make me a bad candidate. I also have really good recommendations. Thank you for the help
