Hi everyone, I’d appreciate your thoughts.
I just took the GMAT Focus Edition and got a 570. McCombs (UT Austin) is my target program, and I’m unsure whether to send this score now or wait until I retake the test in a month or two.
I’m an international applicant with 3 years of work experience.
I know 570 is below McCombs’ average, but I’m wondering if there’s any advantage to sending it early, or if it might hurt my application.
Has anyone had experience with this? Would appreciate any insight.

Hi
A 570 is well below McCombs’ average, and sending it now is unlikely to give you an advantage. Schools typically look at your highest score, but submitting a low score early does not strengthen your profile and might create an impression that your test performance is a weak point.
Since you plan to retake the test in a month or two, it is usually better to wait. Use this time to focus on improving your score, as moving closer to or above the program’s average will make a meaningful difference to your chances.
McCombs values a strong academic profile, and the GMAT is a key piece of that. A higher score can also increase your chances of scholarships. If you are confident you can improve, waiting and submitting a stronger application in one go is the safer approach.
Good luck with your prep and retake.

Hi PixelPenguin42,
Your current score is well under the average at McCombs. So, if you are retaking the test, it does not make sense for you to send the score to the school now.
All the best!
