630 on the gmat (36Q 40V)

Beating the GMAT is a little strong for this one.


I had been planning on getting close to a 630 for some time, and this score falls well into the 25%-85% range of the schools to which I'll be applying. My question is this: Will my 630 be less valued than another score of 630 where the two sections are more consistent with each other?

I was fairly disappointed in my math score. I'm certainly no math genius, but I at the very least had been scoring around a 39-40 on the practice tests. The verbal surprised me, as I only studied it for a week and never took the verbal section of the practice tests.
