690 (Q47, V37) OK for INSEAD, LBS?

by nerdddyg Tue Jun 03, 2008 9:52 am

Hello,

Quick question to the experts.

I studied for ~3 weeks and scored a 690 (90th Percentile) on the GMAT which broke down to Quant (81st Percentile) and Verbal (82nd Percentile). It's a balanced score which is what I was aiming for, but clearly not in "the 700 club".

Should I re-write, or focus on my apps? My goal is to get into INSEAD or LBS. From the info sessions for each of these schools they said that they were looking for well-roundedness. INSEAD mentioned specifically being at least 75th percentile in each of Q and V.

I believe the rest of my application is decent:
* Was ranked top 20 in my engineering program
* Work at a top consultancy firm
* Have a decent amount of extra-curriculars throughout the past 4 years

Any advice would be appreciated - Thanks!
