Do I have a chance at Booth?
I'll be applying to the Booth Scholars Program in April. It's open only to UChicago graduating undergrads and it offers a $10,000 annual scholarship and 2-year deferment to Booth.

I'm confident in most elements of my application. I have three strong recommendations; I have a 3.8 GPA; I'll be receiving general and departmental honors when I graduate in June; I spent the summer at a Target Corporate internship; I've stayed active in a number of campus consulting clubs during my undergraduate experience; and I'll be starting a two-year rotational program as a Business Analyst at Sears Holdings come August.
The only real problem is my gmat score. I received 95th percentile on the verbal but only 58th percentile on the math for an overall score of 660. How would a school like Booth perceive this verbal-quant skew? I've tried to preempt objections that I can't handle Booth coursework with evidence from my undergrad math grades and internship experiences, but I don't know if that will be enough.
