Hi, Thank you for your thoughts. I think I am getting close to forming an approach. I would also think it would potentially be a red flag if I took gmats again (a 4th time) and did worse, or only did marginally better. To be honest I don't think the strenght of my application will be standardized te...

Goal: From 55% to 80% Quant
Hi, I have recently taken the gmats and scored a 55% in the quant. I would like improve this score to an 80% or so in the next month and a half. Given the short timeline I believe I need to be very focused on my specific weakness and know the differences between a 55% test taker and an 80% test take...

Also, I understood that earlier rounds could perhaps be more competitive then later rounds...is it actually the reverse?

NP, Thank you for your perspective. I had not considered applying in earlier rounds. I believe I could increase my score to a 680, possibly a 700. Some of what you have said is in conflict with previous information I had heard. For one, I thought admissions committies would only count your highest s...
