Hi - I'm targeting H/S/W and wanted to get thoughts on applying Round 1 versus Round 2.
Born and raised in the US. First-gen/low-income. Female Asian American.
Went to a top three liberal arts college (Williams / Amherst / Pomona). 3.6 GPA, majored in Economics.
Graduated and did 2 years in bulge bracket IB and now in PE (climate-focused). Would have 5 years of experience at time of matriculation
GMAT 700 (48Q, 37V, IR4, AWA6).
My question is do I apply Round 1 coming from an overrepresented group (private equity) or wait until Round 2 and try to increase GMAT score? If the latter, what's a more decent score? 730+? I've also already been working on essays and other parts of application and am in a position to submit barring GMAT.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks for your question!
If you feel confident that you can increase your score to at least a 730 then I would suggest applying in Round 2. Although ideally, you would apply in Round 1, and then take the GMAT soon after you submit your application. If you recently took the GMAT and the material is fresh in your mind, then that is a good option. Otherwise, if you need more time to study, then I feel that it's worth waiting until Round 2 if you can submit a score that is significantly higher than your current score. And keep in mind that you can take it more than once over the next few months too, since you have nothing to lose.
Good luck!
