Hi Everyone,
So, I took the GMAT a few times so far and scored the following:
650 V38 Q41 IR 6 AWA 4
730 V44 Q47 IR 2 AWA 0
700 V39 Q47 IR 6 AWA Most likely a 5+, I cancelled this score but may reinstate based off your opinions.
So, on my 730 I had gotten a low IR and THEN accidentally submitted my essay thinking that the first page was for a draft. I ended up finding out I had covid after the test as my brain fell apart after focusing so hard on the composite sections. I know.... stupid of me. I have been devastated over it but am getting over it.
So, I buckled up and retook the test with the goal of improving my IR and AWA, I was on track to another 730 and I got hit with a super difficult CR section that crushed me and left me with a V39
At least I fixed my AWA and IR with a presentable composite.
With that said, should I keep my 700 score to show the schools that I am capable of doing well in all the sections while providing a decent score to show for it while also having the 730, or do I cancel?
I would like to add that I came from an original score of 430 and have grinded for about 2 years on this test. I am still so grateful to be talking about 700 scores after this long journey. I love the GMAT and have 4 attempts left. I may take it a few more times for fun and see how I do with the pressure off.
My GPA is a 3.9 cumulative from a decent university in the US. I am 23 and will have solid WE and spectacular references by the time I apply.
So thankful for everyone's time in evaluating my situation. I look forward to hearing your responses.
Sincerely,
FLC

With all due respect, none of the considerations you've made, other than your score of 730 and your GPA, have any effect on the admissions board's assessment of your application.
We have been working with American MBA candidates since 2006 and we are always in contact with the admissions departments of business schools and I can tell you that from now on it is more a question of how you will "defend" your essays.

Thanks Marcelo, so would you suggest I keep the 700 or leave it cancelled? And when you say “defend” my essays, are you referring to the GMAT essay or my application essays?
