Hi greenrev,
Thanks for reaching out! We are always happy to help.
Regarding your questions:
Q: I took the GMAT a day ago and received a score of 680. I feel this score is not good enough and Im planning to take the GMAT again. Should I cancel the 680 score or should I report it?
A: A 680 is a great score, so you should be proud; however, you are targeting very competitive schools so you are right on the lower end of the 80% range. You do not need to cancel the score because almost all of these schools will count your highest. You should definitely take the exam again.
Q: I have limited time to prepare for GMAT and for my applications due to my current role. Should I invest time on GMAT or round 2 applications for Business Schools? What is the most effective way of using my time?
A: As I mentioned, you definitely need to give this exam another shot especially since you have ample time to do so before Round 2 deadlines. As far as how you should spend your time, it depends. Did you feel that the reason you did not score as well was because you did not have enough time to prepare? Did you feel you were prepared but you perhaps weren't as focused or "on your game" as you could have? Diagnosing the reason for not scoring higher is equally as important as planning the next steps.
I have worked with my clients who face this same problem of having to determine how to split their time. My best advice would be to carve out 30-60 minutes a day to exam preparation while also simultaneously preparing your applications. Here at Admissionado we process feedback on a 72-hour guaranteed turnaround so while you are waiting commentary from us you can use that time to prep on the GMAT. Plus, we can put together a schedule with you to plan your applications for R2 with the idea that there will be a new GMAT score forthcoming.
I could go on for a long while but it's best to reach out to us to schedule a free consultation. We can walk you through how we can prepare you for R2 deadlines, which are here before you know it!
Best,
Seth
