680 same score twice - which score to put on the application

by Guest Fri Nov 07, 2008 2:09 pm

Hi,

I would like to get your honest advice. I took the GMAT twice and scored 680 on both but different breakdowns. On:
Test 1
Q 88%
V 69%

Test 2
Q 77%
V 81%


Which breakdown do you think will look better to put on my application?

Thank you in advance.

I will put the 2nd one.

The 2nd test shows you are well rounded.

The schools do generally say they prefer more balanced scores, so I'd tend to agree with David.

I'd really go ask this in the Admissions Consulting thread, though - they're the experts on this issue! :)
