What did you get ? What schools do you have in mind?

The quantitative stuff is my weak spot (and unfortunately, the most highly weighted) so I'm focusing mostly on that. I'm going through princeton reviews "cracking the GMAT" as well as Kaplan's 800 math study book. I'm glad i'm studying because I did not realize how much basic math that I forgot since I haven't done it without a calculator in 10 years.

i got a 680. i zoned out on the math and ran out of time and had to flat out guess on the last 5 or so. So that killed my math score which i actually thought would of been my strong point. i figure i got a decent enough score that i shouldnt piss away more money taking it again. As im sure you know, the test is pretty expensive.

the reason i took it was to apply to my undergrad colleges master of finance program for this upcoming spring. But i might of gotten a pretty decent job(waiting to hear back official word), so i might take that and just put of grad school for 3 or so years where i wouldnt have to take a loan out for it.
