I am hoping to get into a T30 business school and I am wondering whether I should submit my GMAT score or request for a Test Waiver.

Hi there,
Is retaking the GMAT or switching to a different test an option? It may be worth delaying your application to take time to improve that part of your profile.
You can request a waiver, and schools may grant them, but they'll still be looking for other strong evidence of academic potential in your application, and your low GPA worries me.
Best,
Kate

Hi Kate,
Thank you for replying.
Unfortunately writing the GMAT again does not seem possible as I am applying for Fall 2024 and waiting for R3 does not make sense at the moment. Also, I wrote the GMAT twice, 3 months apart, managing the same score.
My GPA however is 4.77 on a 6.0 Scale. Not sure if that makes it better.
