I've been preparing for the GMAT for the past two months, mainly using the Official Guide and mock tests. My mock scores started at 515, and my highest was 665. However, I scored 605 on the official test. I finding it hard to process my score tbh, especially Quants i got just 1 question wrong (the 2nd one) and my score is 85 and 88th percentile. and i checked the gmat score calculator if i had gotten just that 1 right my overall score would have been 645 
A bit about me:
The ISB Round 2 deadline is in 2 days, and their average GMAT score is 655(not official ofc). Should I go ahead and submit my application with my current 605 score, or take another month to prepare for the GMAT and apply in Round 3?
Also, are there other good business schools with open admissions right now that I should consider?
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
A bit about me:
- I ran an IT consultancy for three years (two of those during my BTech in Computer Science).
- Currently, I work as a lead software engineer in healthcare IT. Over four years, I've grown from individual contributor to lead a team of engineers. My stakeholders are primarily based in the US, UK, and EU (I'm from India).
- My essay has received positive feedback (a couple of people even said it's great).
- I have a strong Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from my current manager, who is the director of my company and an alumnus of IIM Bangalore.

605 is low unless you have stellar ACADs, work achievements & extra Cur.
Also, all the praises with your LOR, essays haven't been compared with pool so you actually cant rely on words since you don't have numbers.
PS: Had been in same boat & got rejected
