I'm trying to get a sense of where my GMAT would shake out if I decide to take the plunge and study for it. I have a CFA charter (passed all 3 levels at the first attempt), but otherwise I was not a stellar student (3.2 finance major, at a regional engineering school). Is there some minimum score I should be able to hit if I study reasonably well?

Hi sadsoul90, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
Buddy of mine settled in the high 600's before getting a 740 on his 4th attempt. He's waiting to sit for CFA level 3 and passed levels 1 & 2 on his first try... not sure how much that helps. They're completely different types of tests so I think its tough to gauge, but from a pure dedication to studying standpoint (based on my limited knowledge of you sitting/passing all 3 levels) I don't see why 700+ isn't obtainable
Having done both, they're quite different test, so you probably can't infer a minimum score. There may be some correlation between CFA and the quant section at GMAT, but the verbal section tests different things. Your SAT score would be more relevant to what you'd get on GMAT.
With all 3 CFA levels, you should get at least a 200 GMAT.
Like others have said, they're completely different tests, so I'm afraid the CFA won't guarantee much. I consider myself a really good test taker (passed all three first try), and the GMAT still terrified me. The way they make you think is just way harder than the borderline robotic memorization of the CFA exams. For what it's worth, I got 98th percentile on my GMAT, but it was way skewed to the verbal side - I bombed quant, despite my CFA exams.
