Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I'm shooting for the 3rd week of February to retake the GMAT. My issue with the quant section was my timing, so I don't feel like I need a lot of prep time.
I would think we will be reviewed later in the process. From the R2 deadline to the Mid-Decision date they are being reviewed by a student and an adcom just to decide whether to interview or not. We've already made it past that point. After the interview a different adcom reviews and makes a recommendation, at which point some people probably go into the "maybe" pile, then they look at us again when they are ready to review the maybe pile (after they have chosen all the definite admits). Just guessing on all of this, of course!

I know the dates for hearing back are set for Booth, but I am currently seeking sponsorship from the company I work for and their decision date is Feb 6th. Is it wise for me to send Booth a thank you note and reference this date? I am not sure how it would be viewed by the adcom. Thanks!

New WL update on the admissions blog:
December 20
Waitlist Update
While it likely wasn’t the news you were hoping to hear, if you received a waitlist notification, please know that the waitlist is a good place to be! This round was incredibly competitive, and we were simply unable to accept every qualified applicant. We recognize that there may be some uncertainty surrounding next steps for those of you on the waitlist, so we wanted to clarify the process and new changes from last year. This will be a waiting process over the next few months but there are a few things you can do during this time, and we have listed them below.
Waitlist Enrollment Form
This is a new feature for this year, and allows candidates to immediately opt in or out of the waitlist. As with most things at Booth, this allows you to decide what is best for you, and helps us better understand who is genuinely interested in remaining on the waitlist. The waitlist enrollment form is in no way binding, and you are able to withdraw yourself from the waitlist at any time by emailing us at [email protected].
Overall Process
Once you’ve accepted our offer to become part of the waitlist, your application will be considered for admission again in Round 2. You will receive an updated decision on March 21, 2012, our final decision date for Round 2. We will try to make a final decision by that point, but there is a possibility that you could remain on the waitlist through Round 3.
Updates, Materials, and Video
We welcome you to send us relevant updates regarding your candidacy. This information will be added to your file for future consideration by the Admissions Committee. The content and format of an update is entirely up to you, but ideally the materials you provide should add insight into your qualifications and strength of fit with Chicago Booth beyond what was presented in your original application. You can submit your updates in the “Upload Materials” section of your Applicant Status Page.
A new, optional feature this year is the ability to upload a 90-second video for the Admissions Committee. In the age of digital media, we recognize that video is a common tool of communication, and want to provide any interested candidate with the opportunity to use it. Often candidates would like to introduce themselves via a face-to-face conversation, and a video provides the opportunity to create a personal connection in lieu of visiting campus. In terms of the content - it is entirely up to you. You can submit a video in the “Portfolio” section of Applicant Status Page.
Please submit all updates by March 1, 2012.
Thank you for your continued interest in Chicago Booth. As we have updates to share, we will be in touch via email. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or 773.702.7639.
