Hey guys,
I applied to UCLA Anderson in the first round of admissions, and since I gave my GMAT again. I wrote to them informing them of the same and I was told they don't update scores once the application has been submitted and so I can withdraw my current application and have it considered in the second round. I am a little confused about this, and don't know what to do.
My GMAT Scores are as follow:
1st GMAT:
Verbal: 36 / 80%
Quant: 45 / 62%
Total: 660 / 79%
AWA: 6.0 / 91%
IR: 5 / 53%
2nd GMAT:
Total: 680 (84 percentile)
Quantitative: 44 (57 percentile)
Verbal: 39 (89 percentile)
Other than the 20 point increase I know my GMAT score isn't substantially better section wise than my first test. I'm at my wits end about what I should do.
Help?

Hi gDubs,
That is a tough question! Well first, what you were told is correct, Anderson is really strict about not receiving updates after you've submitted. Other schools will allow updates though, so it's definitely worth checking with each school if you applied to others.
Personally I think the jump from 660 to 680 is significant, and a higher overall score is better even if your Quant dropped slightly. I actually polled a few of my mbaMission colleagues to see what they thought of your question and most thought it was worth withdrawing and resubmitting in Round 2 with the higher GMAT. And then if you do that, write a very short optional essay pointing to the higher Quant score on the previous GMAT attempt.
So just based on what I know, that's what I'd vote for. But I think it could depend on other factors...like how strong is your GPA or other academic indicators? Are you applying from an over-represented demographic? These are some other questions to consider. Feel free to PM me with more details if you want to discuss further.
Good luck!

Hi,
I want to check - have you already received a decision from the school - waitlist or denied?
