I scored 640 (Q44 V34) the first time on the GMAT. I attributed this low score to nerves and lack of verbal prep so I signed up for a retake. I've also never been a strong standardized test taker. I retook it today and got the same score 640 with nearly same splits. I was very disappointed in this score as I had been planning to apply by round 2 this year. I can retake it in December and try to get applications put together but I am going to be in a time crunch.
1. Is it better to apply in round 3 with a higher GMAT score (not sure what I can get) or apply in round 2 with a 640?
2. Assuming that I have the rest of the package (except low undergrad GPA which I mitigated with a high Master's GPA, do I have a shot at top 10-16 programs?
