Well it makes sense. Now whether you want to apply in February or not is up to you. My take on it is that if you know you can do better on the GMAT and the one year of difference doesn't make a big difference, then just wait until next year. I mean the potential situation is that say you get into Isenberg with a 610... okay great... but do you go? I mean knowing you could have maybe gotten a higher GMAT score and applied to more schools and maybe gotten more offers? Rushing things is fine when you have a pragmatic advantage (outside the feeling of "I need to do this NOW"), but otherwise, if you can get a higher GMAT, I think waiting it out retaking, and applying to many schools in R1 is probably a wiser idea.
