Dear Alex,
I do believe that the admissions committee would be concerned by your 12% quantitative score: the coursework at business school is highly quantitative, and the adcom would likely be concerned that you would not have the math skills to be able to keep up. This means that, even though your overall GMAT score matches NKU’s average, I think that it would be highly unlikely that they would consider you a competitive candidate.
Given your undergraduate GPA and your verbal score, it is clear that you are quite intelligent ?you are just out of practice dealing with math. In order to gain admission to business school, I would recommended addressing that situation by, at the very least, taking a GMAT prep course or, ideally, taking some math classes (pre-calculus, calculus, and accounting would probably be quite useful) at a local college. This will also help you to get more out of your MBA experience, as you will be better equipped to keep up with and benefit from your classes.
Furthermore, using your improved quantitative skills to raise your GMAT score would allow you to base your choice of school on a wider range of factors. Having more options will allow you to find a school that is truly a good fit for you and your goals.
