Quant score in IR

[cooperstreet]

My quant score is 710. I'm applying to two programs in the top 10 in IR.

Will that score seriously lessen my chances of getting accepted?

I do, however, have a quantitatively rigorous BS degree, and did well in my quant heavy classes. That should offset the score, right?

Gradcafe makes me think a 800/170 Q is the only way to get in.

Honestly, shoot for top 16 as a safety and just do well at a school that places up. But no I think you'll be fine. What was your GPA

Low undergrad because of my first two years, so 3.1. Grad was 3.85, also As in a lot of language courses, which aren't glade inflated, and its a particularly hard language.
