Hey all - I’m a prospective deferred MBA applicant. I’m targeting HSW/M7 schools only (since I already attend a relatively prestigious undergrad).
I’m absolutely stuck in a cycle of poor GMAT GRE scores ... 665, 665, 655 and 327, 326 respectively. Standardized testing just isnt my thing. I always score higher on the mocks (686/695) and (330/331) range but I can never seem to convert it to an actual score whether it be a lack of sleep from anxiety or some other factor. I want to know how I can overcome this silly barrier to my exams. At this point I have serious self doubt, to the extent where I worry that I’m not even remotely competitive for the schools I have in mind. For some additional context, I have a 3.8 GPA in STEM and good ECs / LoRs lined up.
I realize that applications are hollistic, but even then I’m worried because deferred is simply so competitive and I feel like I’m not reaching my potential. I don’t even know if I have a shot anymore. Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated.
