Did I beat the GMAT?

by Goldy14 » Wed Nov 18, 2009 5:21 pm
Hey guys,

I just got back from taking the GMAT a few minutes ago. I've been studying for months and got a 650. I'm not quite happy, but not quite upset. I know its a decent score but I was hoping to do a little better.

However my score is HEAVILY weighted towards verbal. I got in the 53 percentile for quant and the 89 percentile for verbal. Bottom line: I'm not sure what to do going forward. For the schools that I want to go to, I was hoping to get around a 670-700.

So do I take the test again? Do I just call it a day? Is it worth it to take the test again if I'm only hoping to go up another 30ish points? Will schools not be interested in me after seeing the low quant score?

Any help would be great!
