Hi all,
I want to apply to a few universities' MBA program to begin in fall 2016, and am currently preparing the GMAT. I am fully aware that I am short on time, since most people prepare their GMATs for a couple of months, and the essays for some time as well, whereas I only have about 30 days left in order to take the test and have the results back in time. My questions are:
1. If I start an application process for a certain university, but do not submit the application before the end of round 1, is this application form stored for, say, the second round? Most importantly, do the recommendation letters get stored for until the application is finished? Or do I have to do the complete process again for each round?
2. If I take the GMAT test on the same day that the application process is closed, and then the GMAC sends the results later on, is my application valid? Or do I need the official result BEFORE the dead line?
Any/all comments are highly appreciated!
BONUS-TRACK: just did my first prep exam (from the GMATPrep) and got an estimated of 650. By studying in between 3 to 6 hours daily, do you think it might be realistic to reach 720-740?
Best regards,

1. Yes. Your application is stored from R1 to R2 if you do not finish it by the R1 deadline. The LORs are stored as well.
2. Yes, although you ideally want to take it a bit before for the AWA. Schools only look at what is self reported for the most part, so you can get your score and submit it yourself. Don't worry about officially sending your full score report.
In terms of what you need to improve your score...this is a very individual question and without knowing your study history, habits and overall ability, it is hard to say how much you can improve it. Were you testing higher on your practice tests?

Thank you very much for your response PersonalMBACoach, it is really helpful. Just as a quick follow-up, are submissions stored for all universities? (I mean, is it common practice and I can work under the assumption that, in case I do not manage to get a well rounded application, they will still be there for all/most universities when round 2 approaches). You mention that, ideally, I would like to take the GMAT some time before (how much time before deadlines?) because of the AWA. You mean that the AWA takes longer to score and could improve my overall score?
Also, about recommendation letters: I currently work at a university of some prestige, quite close to the dean. Since I want to apply to an MBA I was wondering if it would be a good idea to ask for a recommendation letter from a world-renown academic, instead of a (regular) professional holding an MBA.
Once again, thanks a lot for your time and help.
