Does anyone know if you can submit an additional GMAT/GRE score after submitting one with your initial application?

In one of the MBA tour chats, I asked if it'd be possible to send a score update post submitting the application (with the score I already have). I was told that yes sending score updates post submitting the application is possible but I should try to do it asap as once my application is reviewed by 2 independent members, the score update might not make any difference. I would recommend writing to the ad-com and getting clarification from them directly! In my case - Covid was the reason behind my appointment getting postponed, so not sure if it'd be applicable to everyone! Edit: This blog post might be of interest to you : https://mba.wharton.upenn.edu/mba-admis ... extension/ Seems like I was mistaken / interpreted the response of the ad-com member wrongly. Only those who don't have a score and can't take the take-home GMAT, you can send your score till the interview decisions are sent out! Not sure if this would apply to score updates if you already have a GMAT/GRE score.

Anyone know if there's a way to preview your application before submitting it? A lot of schools let you view a pdf of it before you submit. It looks like you only get to view the PDF after you submit w/ Wharton.

There doesn't appear to be a specific portion of the application where you specify which round you are applying in. Has anyone else noticed this?

It's likely that the application will be considered as a part of R1 if you manage to submit within the deadline. If your application passes the R1 deadline, it will automatically be considered for R2. Mentioning the application round doesn't seem necessary if that were the case.

Wharton has released its class profile https://mba.wharton.upenn.edu/class-profile/

! 19% is incredibly low. This raises the question about the number of students who were offered deferrals.

reddy10d 916 enrolled for the class of 2022. So, I guess there are not many deferrals.

Posted from my mobile device Maybe there are deferrals, which were primarily given to international students. They then went on to fill those vacancies with domestic candidates. One has to wonder what it means to the batch applying to the program this year

Do they seriously not allow you to preview the application before submitting? You can barely make out the text in half of the boxes....has anyone been able to preview? Epic fail if this is indeed the case.
