Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I studied about a month for the GMAT and gave it online in the first week of Jan. I ended up getting a 730(96%) with a breakdown of q47 (60%) and v44 (98%) with a 7(81%) in IR.
I felt my quantitative percentile was too low, so thought if i gave it again i could probably do marginally better, so I gave the GMAT again at a test center the following week and got a 720(94%) with q49(74%), v40 (90%), IR 8 (91%) and AWA 6 (88%).
Now i am confused whether I should put in my 730 score during my applications, or my more balanced 720 score? I think I am already quite late in the admissions cycle, and really want to go to grad school this year, so don't think theres any point trying to do the GMAT again although i do feel another month or so of studying might help me raise my score by another 20 points but by then applications would probably be going in too late.
I am hoping of getting into a program like Rotman with a substantial scholarship, and although I have missed Round 2, apparently they process your application between deadlines too

aksssss:
Tough call, but thankfully it won't matter all that much. Why not submit both? If you have to designate one score over the other, go with the higher overall score of 730. The second score (not official) will indicate your higher ceiling to your quantitative side.
If for some reason you do not get in, you can retake and apply again in the fall. If you are waitlisted, odds are the school will probably allow you to retake the exam and submit the new score for reconsideration this year.
Good luck,
Admissionado
