Hello business school candidates,
July is the absolute deadline for you to start studying for the GMAT if you are planning to apply to business schools in the Fall. It is already too late for R1, but if you're targeting R2, you need to already be studying so you can be done by September. If you drag the GMAT to October or November, you likely will not have enough time to complete the rest of the applications, a very time-consuming process. If you are still on the fence about whether you should apply this year, try to make up your mind early. If your personal situation doesn't allow you to focus on the GMAT until August or September, Fall 2020 may be a more suitable application cycle for you.
Regardless of your decision, good luck!
