GMAT quant score for HBS - Scored a 720

I scored a 720 (95%) on the GMAT and only a 47 (81%)on the quant. Is this competitive? HBS doesn't break down middle 50 verbal and math scores for the class, so I'm wondering what is an "acceptable" quant score. So, just as 700+ is an overall cutoff, what is the quant cutoff so to speak? Is a 47 OK?

You're score is high enough that GMAT isn't a reason for rejection. Its a solid quantitative score, and I imagine you have some type of quantitative course work to complement that score and your application. Congrats on the excellent score!
