Hi all,
Would b-schools accept updated GMAT scores after the application deadline?
If I've already taken the GMAT once and I feel that there is room to improve by at least 50 points, would it help if I retake my GMAT, say on January 15, about 2 weeks after R2 deadlines?

Ultimately, it depends on whether or not the admissions committees at the schools you are applying to view your current GMAT score as a strength/weakness or neutral factor. That said, the easiest suggestion I offer in these situations is to email/call the schools you are applying to and ask them -- they'll give you the best answer.
In regards to whether a '50' point improvement is worth it -- that's only something that you can truly answer. What's your current score and how does that compare to the mean score range at the schools you are considering?
Hope this helps.

As a rule of thumb, most schools do not accept information like that during regular admissions proceedings. By that, I mean new GMAT scores are generally admitted during the waitlist process, etc. However, Brian's point is valid - just call the school. There is a good chance they'll say no, but you never know. As for whether 50 is significant, it all depends. If you're going from a 710 to a 750, not much. But if you're going from a 600 to a 650, then yes, it'll help. But it's hard to say without any info.
