is it better to apply in Round 2 of admissions with a 650ish GMAT score or study more to get a better score and apply in Round 3? I think I may be too late to do the applications for Round 2 because it is already 22nd dec and deadlines are in first week of Jan. I haven't even approached my recommenders.

It depends on which school you are targeting. We have seen many candidates getting admitted into top MBA programs with average GMAT scores, as you can see here: https://aringo.com/aringo-top-mba-gmat-results/

If you are considering late rounds, check out this list of late deadlines for Sep23/Jan24 programs (some of them are not last rounds): https://aringo.com/low-season-deadlines/
