wp06,
I wish you the best of luck. I'm with you in that GMAT is just a data point. Also, let's be clear of one thing, you have something most candidates don't - "real on the line leadership experience". We've all led teams, non-profits, family business, but heck, most of us were playing beer pong while you were serving in the trenches. So you've got something going for you bud, just know your strengths.
Last year, I applied for R2 and was wait-listed at a couple of top 10 programs (GMAT last year was a 640). From my experience, in R2 ad-com is less willing to take chances. They're attitude is to wait and see what comes along in R3. Most Einstein's wait and apply in R3. R1 is blank canvas, so you have that going for you.
Given your experience, I bet your goals are refined and you will be able to present them clearly. You've served from age 17 through 26. Just bring those experiences out on paper.
If you can take the time to retake the GMAT (take the time to retake - haha, idiomatic tongue twister ain't it!!!), do so by all means. A 700+ application in R2 may be stronger than a mid-600s (this is where you decide when you want to roll the dice). I took the Knewton prep course and found it very helpful (let me be clear rite now, I do not work for them - this is honestly my own opinion). I moved my score from a mid 600s to a 710.
Good luck bud. It'll all work out, it always does.

Hi,
People who are applying for Lauder as well, have you finished your OPI test??
Mine is scheduled for next Friday and am anxious to know what kind of Qs they ask and how does the conversation move along generally.
Any guidance would be much appreciated!!
