First and foremost, I want to recognize the absolute privilege that I have earning a 730 (Q47/V44) today. I have no business to be unhappy with my score. However, I'm wondering if a 730 is enough to earn me a spot in my schools of choice, M7+Haas+NYU. Ideally, H/S/W + Columbia/NYU
I'm applying with strong recommendations, an underrepresented industry, and what I believe to be good leadership experience/personal stories. However, I recognize that the tide is against me with only 3 years of work experience at matriculation (non-consulting/PE/fancy roles) and a 3.3 GPA (Mathematics & Economics) from a T50 school as I worked all through college to financially support my family.
I took the exam very sick today and GMAC wouldn't let me postpone without paying again. I was lucky enough to get a 730 still but in my last 3 Official practice exams, was scoring 740-760. I think with 1-2 months extra prep, I have a good shot at 750 but this would mean missing R1.
All things equal, the question is, which path would make my odds of admissions higher, a 730 in R1 or a 750 in R2?

Here are my thoughts on R1 vs R2.

In general. I have more thoughts about this season in particular. I feel that everyone in North America is currently on vacation and many people have postponed their plans to round two supplying and round one would give an advantage to anyone in North America. At the same time, international applicants are as competitive as ever.
So if that is the choice, I will definitely shoot for around one if you’re in the US or Canada. If you are an Indian national, you will need a 750 to be considered seriously.

I could also see not applying just to the worlds top three business calls in round one. I think it’s a little dangerous to shoot all your best shots in one go. I would save at least one of them for round two and have at least one mortal human business school 😎
