Hi Shruti,

If you are planning to apply in R-1, September may be late for GMAT. Ideally, you should be spending August and September on your essays, recos etc, in case you are planning to apply to 4-5 schools, essay writing being the most time consuming process.

However, if you feel you can devote significant amount of time during these 2-3 months on your essays recos, resume in addition to focusing on retaking GMAT , you can still apply in R-1.

Good luck.

to complete the evaluation and to suggest programs, it'd be helpful to know more about your career....where do you work, what do you want to do post-MBA, etc.

right now, your stats put you into a top 30 - 40 program (if you're interested in a US school).

taking the GMAT in sept, is not too late technically speaking. but the challenge you'll face is that if you don't start your essays until after you've taken the GMAT, you will not have enough time to write your essays. if you only apply to 1 or 2 programs, perhaps this is feasible.

hope that's helpful,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
