Hi, I'm looking for advice on whether I should apply to schools by the round 1 application deadlines with a GMAT score of 690 or retake the GMAT (I think I'm capable of scoring 720) and applying in R2. I'm not sure if I am competitive enough of an applicant for the schools I am applying to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
GMAT:
August 19th - q48, v38 (score of 690)
September 8th q49, v29 (combined 640), I just took the test today I cannot take another one until September 25th (16 day waiting period). On all of my prior practice exams I scored a 40 in the verbal section, so I'm not sure what happened there...

MIT Sloan
Columbia
Stanford

I'd probably wait for R2 at this point and - given those schools - resit for 720+. Focus pretty much solely on verbal for a month because you're going to need to breach v40 for a shot at that sort of score. Identify your verbal weaknesses and work hard on them and good luck.

Based on what you wrote, it really sounds like there is potential for a better score here, so I would definitely retake if I were you, just so you know you tried everything you could in order to get in and don’t have any regrets afterwards. As I am sure you know several of the schools on your list are really competitive so you do want to have the feeling you didn’t leave any stone unturned!
