Hi there. I studied for this GMAT for 1.5 weeks and took it this morning and got a 740. It is a fine score but I was disappointed in myself because I buckled under the pressure and got a lower score than I am capable of. So I have two questions. I think I am going to retake. I am just wondering what the perception the adcom has of the difference between 780/770 and 740. Is it considerable? Secondly, the Harvard Round 1 application is due October 2. I can't take the GMAT again for another 31 days (which I just found out today). This means the score I get the second time (which will be higher) will not be on the application in time. What can I do about that, if anything?
Thank you for your help.

740 is a good score. For Harvard, forget about the retake and focus on the essays, that's what counts for them more than GMAT. Few people know this but for 2 years it removed the GMAT requirement for its MBA. Essays, essays, essays....
Good luck!
Good luck!

Well basically I think you are stuck with the score for round 1
You could submit your application and sent a note to the admissions office that you are going to take the GMAT again..but doing that would probably draw attention to your GMAT score..and in all honesty, they probably would be wondering why in the heck someone with a 740 would be taking it again..but that is up to you..if you can pass it off as well you think you can do better so you have a chance at more $$$ then it may not backfire on you..if you pass it off as for admissions, they will probably scrutinize the rest of your application that much more to try to figure out why you want a 99.5 percentile instead of a 99.1 percentile..
