Does adcom consider retake scores post-application deadline?

Does adcom consider only the GMAT score submitted at the time of application? Or will they consider both the score at the time of application (my first attempt/ 500 range) in addition to a new score if the results are sent immediately from PearsonVue/GMAC? My retake date is scheduled for a day after one of my target school application deadlines and I could greatly benefit from an extra week of studying.

Also, does each school follow the same policy? Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi ljordanf,

Going by part two of the question-The Application has a section that allows students to elaborate on anything that you feel is important for the admission committee to know while evaluating your candidature. It could be relating to academics or even your personal history.

Your GPA could be a hurdle so you should use the application's section that allows students to elaborate on anything that you feel is important for the admission committee to know while evaluating your candidature. Use this place wisely to explain and prove to the admission committee that your GPA won't be an issue. If you can tell in your application about any extra classes or courses you undertook in the subjects that you did not do well. This would highlight your zeal to learn and improve and in turn improve your low GPA situation.
