Hi All,
I asked a similar question in a separate post, but will create a new thread here to ask.
I plan to apply to schools before the R2 deadline, which for most schools is early January. When I submit my application to the schools, obviously I will need to report my GMAT score. I was planning on taking the GMAT in late November/early December, but would really like to postpone it by a couple weeks just to squeeze in as much study time as I possibly can (still not hitting my target score on practice exams).
My question is, even if I take the GMAT before the application deadlines, will I still be too late if I don't have the official report at the time of applying? For example, if my R2 deadline was January 7th and I took the GMAT on January 4th, would I be too late to apply since I would only have a self-reported score for only the math and verbal sections? Or would I be ok with just my self-reported scores on math/verb as long as I have the official report sent to the schools as soon as it becomes available?
I wanted to know since I know it can take up to 2-3 weeks before the official report is sent out.
I feel like even a 2 week difference in prep time could make a huge difference for me and would be very grateful if anybody has any insight about this.
