Good morning,
I'm currently readying my application to apply in round 2. I'm targeting Duke, Michigan, and UVA. I have a little bit of a different background. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering with a 3.3 GPA from a well known engineering school. I spent two years working at a top 50 law firm writing patent applications for startups and fortune 500 companies. I transitioned into a role doing strategic consulting at well known think tank working with the Department of Defense for the last year and a half (my title is Quantitative Research Analyst).
I took the GRE and received the following score: 156Q, 154V, and 4.0 AWA.
I took the GMAT in August and received the following score: 620 overall, 41Q, 34V, 8IR, 6AWA.
I took the GMAT again last month and my score went down.
I have also taken online courses in accounting, corporate finance, and operations management through the Wharton School to demonstrate my commitment and quantitative understanding.
I would like to join a top strategic consulting firm on the commercial side after obtaining my MBA.
Should I submit both my GRE and GMAT scores? One or the other? Should I address the low quant score in my optional essay?
Thank you in advance,
Nervous in DC
