I need help making a judgment call. On my applications, I indicated that I would be retaking the GRE on 22 February, and I have received invitations to interview from Tepper, McDonough, and Kelley--I am waiting to hear back from Haas, Marshall, and Foster.
Among working full time, studying for the GRE retake, and prepping for the interviews (reaching out to current students on how to maximize my impression on the interview) I am burning myself out severely.
I need help prioritizing my time. Should I stop studying for the GRE to focus on the interviews? I'm having a hard time doing both.
I do have a caveat. My interviews are on 27 Jan, 10 Feb, and 26 Feb. I also indicated that I would retake the GRE because I only scored 317 and have a low GPA. However, I explained the circumstances that led to my low GPA in the optional essays and demonstrated growth by taking additional courses via a Master of Science and a PMP certification.
Would it look bad on me not to retake the exam if I'm already receiving invites?

Can you afford to loose a year or not is the question?

Hi C15ElliottG ! First of all, congratulations on the interview invites, good work there! Appreciate yourself first! We think the best next step would be to prioritize your interviews, as they carry the most weight in this stage of the process. Retaking the GRE should be secondary and only considered if it won’t interfere with your interview preparation. Prepare well for the interviews first and give your best shot! Try to make a good plan to prepare for the GRE as well but with a cool mind. And trust the effort you’ve already put into explaining your academic growth through your optional essays and certifications, that’s likely what helped you secure these interview invitations in the first place. Analyze all the possible outcomes and weigh them accordingly then take your next steps... All the very best buddy!
