Hey guys,
So I took the GMAT for the first time last month, and although happy with my score - 750, 49 Q and 44 V - I got a 3 on the IR... I don't think I was under prepared, but some other test was starting at my test center so I got a little distracted. Also, in general don't think it was my best 30 mins of test taking.
I did take the test again this week, and am happy that I was able to do better - 760 with an 8 in IR this time.
When I apply for business school (Aiming for Harvard, Stanford, Kellogg, U Chicago), should I write an extra essay explaining why I did poorly the first time? Or will the score be overlooked? (for reference, other parts of my application are decent, have a high GPA and I work for a firm that sends many people to my target schools)
Thanks for your help in advance!

You only took the GMAT twice and did great on both so I don't think you need to even address your score in your application. Good luck on your application, it sounds like you have a really great chance to get into your target schools

Hi nikhilsj91,
Because each business school has its own policy for processing multiple GMAT scores, our best advice is to check with the specific schools to which you are applying. You may find this GMAT Club forum thread useful:
what-do-b-schools-think-of-multiple-gmat-scores-78682.html
The generally sentiment seems to be that most schools will consider the highest GMAT score. But, again, the school policies may differ so it is in your best interest to connect with school to double check.
Sincerely,
Evan
