Yesterday was my second time taking the GMAT and I’m still disappointed with my scores. should I try again which would most likely mean I have to wait to apply until next year, or apply now?
Got a 570 (Q 36 and V 33) on 12/28 and a 580 (Q 37 and V 32) today 2/12. I’m applying to Univ of MD (Smith), UGA Terry, and Georgia Tech (Scheller). UGAs PT program doesn’t even require the GMAT or GRE so I’m less worried about that than GT and UMD. Heres what’s listed for GMAT on their class profiles
80%ile for GT Scheller:
540-700
Avg for UMD (not reported as percentiles):
570
UGAs average is a 550 something I think
My GPA was a 3.79 so I’m not really worried about that, but since it was a non-business and non-stem major I’m not sure how much I need to compensate. I also only have 2.5 years of experience.
I’ve taken the GRE (took it twice during my senior year of undergrad about 4 years ago). I got a 154 V 154 Q, so that ones also not super strong either. As you can tell I’m not a very good standardized test taker.
What do you think I should do?

Why do you think that you could wait to apply next year just cause the GMAT score? I think you should apply now. If you fail, you will retake GMAT later and apply next year.

Thanks for responding! I really don’t want to wait, it’s more I’m afraid at how they’re gonna look at my length of WE (going on 3, age 25) and GMAT score as 2 negatives against me. I know my GPA is fine but I’m just very worried about getting dinged and don’t want to be setting myself up for failure! I just don’t know anyone applying to PT programs or that has applied to them to the past, so this forum is the only real context I have, if that makes sense.
So do you think I should hold off on any additional GMAT testing/studying right now and just go all in on applying, or should I continue to study and retake and apply? I really need to be done applying by mid/late March so I am on a deadline. Plus if I continue studying I know it will mean I have less time to make a good application.
