Hi there,
First time poster, long-time um... post reader. I recently took the GMAT (for the first time) and scored a 700 (Q47, V40), AWA 6, IR 6--my percentile breakdown was Q: 70%, V: 88. While I've read a number of posts on the general topic of "is a 700 enough?" and found that a 700 is usually deemed sufficient, I am marginally concerned that my quantitative percentile is too low for my target schools (H/S/W, Tuck, Booth, Kellogg, applying R1 '14 for each). Is my concern warranted; i.e., should I consider retaking? I have a strong quantitative background with a MSc in Finance and Economics from a top UK program(me). From your perspective, does this academic qualification reduce or raise possible adcom concerns over my lower Q score/percentile?
Best,
