Same here. Applied to R2. Solid application overall but a 670 GMAT (44Q 38V). Booking a retake for 10th May (+-1 day)
Should I contact my AO and inform them or do I just wait till I get the unofficial score?
I am worried that I would get a a straight decline prior to this date. However, what if I didn’t improve my score?
Advice anyone?
Hi
BSTEPHANOS,
depending on your background and demographic group, a 670 GMAT score could perfectly be enough to get accepted (though a more balanced score with a higher Q score would be preferred). So, by letting your AO know about your May 10th retake, you could be drawing "unnecessary" attention to your GMAT score.
INSEAD will start sending interview invites around May 17th or so. If you do retake the test on May 10th and provide an unofficial score that day, it will most likely come in time (i.e. before a decision has been made on your candidacy).
But if you want to "play it safe" and make sure the AdCom waits until your next attempt, then inform your AO. Worst-case scenario, if you don't increase your score, your 670 will be considered, so there is no risk except, again, potentially drawing unnecessary attention to your score.
I hope this helps.
Warm regards
Alex
