I took the GMAT yesterday and got a whopping 330. Woo hoo! (Sarcasm font). With my illustrious score, my hopes of applying in round 2 went down the drain. I'm hurt, angry, disappointed, in shock, and sad. This is another setback to add to my whole book of setbacks I've experienced throughout 2013. (I'm so over 2013). I've dreamed about going to one of the top MBA programs since I was a senior in undergrad. Besides this stupid score, I have some great things going for me. I have a 3.6 undergrad GPA, 2.5 years of work experience, I own a PR firm, and done several successful community events. (I'm sure there are other things but I can't think of anything.) What I need to decide is to apply in Round 3 or wait another year. I absolutely do not want to wait another year. I already pushed back my plans to applying this year. The thought of starting in Fall 2015 scares me. I'm ready to move on in my life. I don't want to be at my job anymore and I'm ready to move somewhere else. It's time for a change.
This is my 1st time taking the test. I know where I screwed up. I lost track of time cause I spent too much time on the first few problems in the quant section. This cause me to rush through the rest of the section to finish. Quant has never been my strong suit. I did ok on the Verbal but obviously not enough to help my score. I'm considering retaking the test in March. This gives me enough time to go through my study materials, learn the concepts, and practice. I have all 8 MGMAT books, foundations of math MGMAT book, and all the Official Guide books. I also have a subscription to EMPOWER GMAT course, which I really like for strategies and concepts.
My question is should I try to apply in Round 3 or wait to apply next year? I know even 200 point increases are rare and I need to break the 600 mark for anyone to even take a look at me. Plus round 3 is more competitive and you have to be exceptional so even a 600 range score may not cut it. The odds would be truly against me(story of my damn life!) What should I do?

sorry to hear that. Can I ask how long did you study for? I am no expert but students with high 500s are not able to get interview calls from top mba universities.

My studying was inconsistent. I guess you can say I started in September; however I didn't get to a point until I was studying consistently until about November. Before November, I would go over some concepts for a week and then stop. I had a lot going on with a client project. Once that was over in November, I started studying everyday.
