Hello
I am actually a new member (Just registered 5 min. ago). Just wanted to know about your thoughts on which round would it be better to apply. I am currently planning to apply to Wharton, Stern, and Boston Univ. I was aiming for R2 but seriously it has been kind of difficult. I am still working on my essays and I want to take the GMAT again, as I did not even crack the 500. Considering the competitiveness in these schools I think it is a must to take the GMAT again. I did only study for 1 month however, considering that I had already taken the GRE and figured it would be quite similar. But I was definitely wrong. What do you think? Should I delay to R3 and have a much stronger application and dedicate at least two strong months towards the GMAT? Also, do R3 applicants are at a disadvantage than other applicants?
I'd appreciate any input I can have.
Regards

R3 is much tougher to get an admit because most of the available spots in the class have already been filled from R1 and R2. To be honest, if you are planning to retake the GMAT (and with a score <500 it's probably a good idea to be seriously considered at Wharton or NYU), you're best bet would probably be to focus on the GMAT now and then target R1 or R2 in next year's application cycle. Trying to retake the GMAT and still apply R2 this year is probably not feasible, and applying R3 is really a long shot (and an expensive long shot at $200-$250 per application).
