Doc, did you mean ’which school?" If yes, it really depends on what you wish to pursue post-MBA.

You can check with them. Tell them you are planning to update your scores soon and they will give you the timeline. Because the interviews roll out quickly, 15 - 20 days is a good time line.
jeff9835
Yes. If there is a significant difference in the score.
Generally schools don’t mind if your scores are updated again with in 2 weeks of deadline, cause they will be busy gathering the materials from all the applicants. Sometimes the recommenders are late to send the letters, there is some grace period

Anyone here notices the 1-inch margin rule for CV of Ross???
