Hello All!
I would love to hear some expert opinions on my GMAT score of 680/84% (AWA - 4.5, IR - 6, Q - 47/68%, V - 37/83%), and this is my first attempt.
I'm an Indian IT guy, and hence a bit concerned about my Quant scores, given the very competitive applicant pool that I represent.
I'm targeting the top 15-25 B-Schools in US.
What do you suggest my strategy be?
Option #1:
Hold back on Round 1, retake GMAT and apply for Round 2 (hopefully with a better score)?
Option #2:
Apply for Round 1 with the 680, coupled with stellar essays and take a call to retake GMAT depending on the response from R1?
Option #3:
Divide my target schools into 2 lists - targeted for R1 and R2.
Apply to first list in Round 1 with the 680, coupled with stellar essays and in parallel retake GMAT so as to bump my round 1 application and/or apply to 2nd list in R2, with the new (better) score? I know this would require a lot of effort from my side, preparing essays and cranking up for GMAT!
Please help me make this decision, so I can better concentrate on my time and effort in order to maximise my chances of getting into my target schools.
Thanks!

Hi,
I would suggest you to apply in the R1. You may definitely retake your GMAT, and if you are able to get a better score, resubmit the score to the schools. Get started with your essays as soon as possible as it is a time consuming process. You should give 15-25 days to complete a good application. Take a wise decision and all the best. You can look at the possible list of schools here: https://goo.gl/RZg44t
Cheers!!
