Taking GMAT 2 days before the application deadline

Hello!
I wanted to understand whether it is a good idea to take GMAT two days before the college application deadline. I appeared for GMAT yesterday and could not perform as per my expectations (scored 690 (Q-50, V-33) but chose not to report) due to some external factors at the test centre (have also escalated this matter to Pearson/GMAC). I am confident of scoring 720 but as I have to wait for 16 calendar days until I take my next GMAT, I cannot schedule it before 15th Sep'18.
Most of the US college applications R1 deadline are around 17th Sep. As I belong to an over-represented group (Indian Male), I believe I stand better chances at R1 than at R2.
What would you suggest to me? Shall I re-schedule the exam before the R1 deadline and take my chances or wait until next round?
