Do you know if B School admissions committees look critically at each score obtained and the number of times a student has to take the exam?
The reason why I ask is because my prep test scores are not coming out well. So, I'm debating whether I should still go ahead and give the GMAT exam that I am scheduled for next week on the off chance that my score goes up even slightly (making me a more viable candidate for a top 10 business school) or whether I should just change the date for this spring and apply to schools in the first round of Fall 2013. I have to decide by the end of the day today in order to only pay $50 to reschedule.
So far, I've only taken the GMAT once and obtained a dismal 640 (89th percentile Verbal/48th percentile Quant). I'm not sure how the schools would view a second, only marginally better score even if I did obtain a much stronger and more balanced GMAT score after a third attempt.
