Like I said, I've spoken with an admissions counselor directly. Had frequent conversations over the phone with her. She basically said if you don't hit 300 and 55%tile quant, then you're not competitive. Doesn't mean you won't get in, but it's what you WANT to aim for. I have a 3.2 GPA, 159 quant, 157 verbal, 4.0 essay, so that just goes to show you that things can balance out. Don't worry so much, but deff have extracurriculars, shadowing, and volunteering to help make yourself a better app.
