Got feedback that stated that my GMAT could use improvement. It was a 680.
Took the GMAT again recently and felt great, but a brutal 660 showed up. Gave adcom the terrible update. There's not enough time to retake, and I'm really gauging my odds. Any thoughts on what are some possible next steps, aside from waiting?
Also, any thoughts on likelihood of success with EA next year? It may be challenging to show progress with only 2-3 months between when the waitlist closes and when EA applications are due.

When you reapply, I think you can cover the period from the application date to the EA date. I got a similar feedback from Tuck that I should imporve my GMAT, but I am worried that my score won't improve by much. At some point, you just gotta let it go: Obviously, Tuck admitted about 40 kids this past year with a 680 or lower. If I was in your shoes, I wouldn't have updated adcom about the lower GMAT score. Sometime hiding stuff is better than being open about it.

I actually committed to Admissions to take the GMAT on a certain date, so providing an update was really not a choice. I think having my Q +10% and V down 10% was rational since I focused more on the Q.
At this point it's a brutal waiting game. I hope they make an example of me, slam the table at Admissions, and say, 'Screw the GMAT, IN!...' That's how it happens in my dreams anyway!
