Hello
trav2020You pursue the master degree once in a lifetime and some sacrifices are totally worthy of it. A significant improvement on GMAT, together with a revised informal statement to the admission committee, can definitely portray your attitude as well seriousness for the program. Whether the waitlist will convert, nobody knows...but the approach is fine.
Remember that the GMAT (or GRE) score is also a factor on your CV when you apply for jobs during the program. Hence, the effort may be worth it.
Where I have a bit hesitation is on leaving the job for the prep; see if you can study alongside the job to not lose on ~4 months experience; however, if quitting the job is the only way you see, go with your calling.
There isn't a 'right' or 'wrong' decision here. But yes, we each must try!

All the best!

Hi everyone,
I realize that this is a GMAT prep page, but have been waitlisted at Darden and tbd on Johnson. I have a low GRE quant score (and honestly haven’t studied too much). I have a feeling that my schools are going to ask me to retake GRE to get off the waitlist. I have an admit to another masters program at UVA that blends well with my MBA. How crazy would it be to quit job at end of April (like I planned for MBA) and study like crazy to retake test? If I did, how much would you dedicate to studying for the month?
