Hi,
Today I took my official GMAT mock exam. Scored 610. Q49, V25.
My intended university is highly encouraging candidates to apply in R1 (deadline 14th Oct) saying there is no reason for them not to give scholarships in R1 as compared to R2. (I certainly need a scholarship!! 80% of the total class gets a scholarship.)
The average GMAT score of the university is 630.
Though I don't have many extra-curricular activities under my belt, I have a great academic profile and I am working in AI with experience of 6 years.
Now, I am wondering should I give my GMAT now and apply in R1 or prepare well for R2 and apply, as I intend to apply for a better university in December for which I am targetting 700 score.
I am in dilemma, please help.

Hi Avinashkr29,
If what you stated is true - that 80% of the total class receives a Scholarship - then it probably should NOT matter when you apply (assuming that you get accepted, chances seem pretty good that you're going to receive a Scholarship). As with any Scholarship situation, the specific details matter a great deal - so you should make sure that you understand how this School handles scholarships. For example if the School only gives out Scholarships to Round 1 applicants (and accepts most of the Round 1 applicants), then applying for Round 1 would make sense. I don't think that that is the situation here though. If your overall Score Goal is a 700+, then you should be planning your studies around THAT Goal (and as an aside, you seem far more interested in applying to a DIFFERENT School from the one that you were initially referring to, so choosing to take the GMAT twice - once soon and once later on - seems like an unnecessary expense).
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
5) What are the exact application deadlines that you are facing?

Hi Avinashkr29,
It actually depends on you. If you wish to apply for a better university then it makes sense to wait for sometime, take your score to a 700 and then apply. But if you wish to apply for the university which has an average score of 630, then you can give it in a couple of weeks. Having said that, average score doesn't mean that you are good to get an admission with that score. You might need higher than the average score depending on your profile. So, take all these parameters into account and then decide.
I can help you in making a decision if I have more details. You can get in touch with me if you need help on this. I'm sharing a link below using which you can schedule a free consultation call with me.
