710 GMAT, Low Quant

[wisebrain]

I am applying to HBS, Wharton, Stanford, NYU, Kellogg, and Columbia this year. I got a 710 (92%), v.41 (92%) q.47 (79%). I am nervous that my quantitative score is below the magic 80% mark that top schools look for.

At the same time I am not planning to take the GMAT again since I've already taken it twice and don't feel like my score will improve dramatically.

I studied accounting and finance from a state university and graduated with a 3.9. I work in financial management consulting.

WHAT CAN I DO TO PUT MY QUANTITATIVE ABILITIES IN THE BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT?

Your overall score is competitive and the fact that you did well in your major of accounting and finance shows that you have the quantitative skills to succeed in business school. I recommend that you don't spend any more time worrying about the quant portion and instead focus on the other aspects of the application (essays, LORs, interview prep) and try to make them as strong as possible.
