Hi,
I am 4 days away from Stern Round 2 deadline and I have my application ready. The glitch is, I gave my GMAT recently and performed bad. I got a 640. My question is should I go ahead and apply in Round 2 on Nov 15th and tell the admissions team in the optional essay that I plan to take my GMAT again in 3 weeks? Or, should I apply in Round 3, in January, with a better score? I am an international applicant and Stern encourages international applicants to apply by Nov 15th. I am in a dilemma. Please help!

Sorry that your urgent message fell through the cracks here! I'd be interested to know what you decided to do, and whether you were able to get a higher GMAT score subsequently. Had I answered this message in time, my suggestion would have been to wait: a 640 would be a tough sell for NYU, and depending what else you had in your application, you might want to wait until you could get a maximally competitive score.
Best wishes,
