Re: What is the right time to go for GMAT?

Hi Ankurshaz,
Most Business Schools take weeks (or even months) to go over all of the applications that they receive, so as long as you've taken your Official GMAT and submitted your application by the deadline date, then you should be fine. It often takes 1-2 weeks for your GMAT score to be 'certified', but Business Schools understand that fact and they won't reject your application if they have to wait a few days to receive your Official Score Report. Some Schools have even been known to allow applicants to take the GMAT (and submit scores) AFTER the application deadline has passed, as long as the rest of the application was submitted on time. This is all meant to say that your general timeline is fine, but you have to make sure to give yourself enough time to work on your applications (so that you're not rushing to finish them at the last minute).
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
