Just finished undergrad in Economics from Canada and going to LSE finance.

The fact that you studied for only a week and did well does not show anything special. It only means that we were prepared well, luckily, for the GMAT. A lot of smart people who try hard can break 700. See if you can get close to 800, which might be your true potential with a month or two of studying instead of talking about the mark you received with a week of studying.

Hey Kim, take it easy... My intention was not to say "I am special, I broke this idiot test and bla bla bla".

I was just implying that if you have a correct, strong, background, for example if your major is engineering or math or statistics, you don't have to panic and moreover you don't have to prepare for several months as I read in other threads on this forum.

I studied only for a week because the deadline of the admission for my chosen grad course was really close, and therefore I had no other choice.

I don't think that my objective should be obtain a 800 or so...
I believe that GMAT is only a key, not a goal. Your goal must be to pass admission for an university, or a Phd, or whatever, and then do your best, and finally go hunting for your desired job.

Life is some kind of journey, maybe.
I repeat, GMAT is just a key, and 730 is a pretty sufficient key in my opinion.

And don't worry, I will do my best in my future university, since my GMAT granted me admission with full scholarship at Bocconi University, International Management master of science.
