Sounds like you would prefer ASU over BYU, so if you decide to wait, I would try to at least get a deferral from BYU just in case you don't get in as a reapplicant to WP CArey next year. How can you improve your profile will be the major question since you will have to provide some compelling evidence why the past year has changed your profile in some way. Applying first round is preferrable, since as you said, there were folks who got in with similar qualifications. Perhaps simply having an extra year of WE will be enough, particularly if you have some interesting achievements to report. BTW, most scholarships go in the first round, so don't be discouraged about not seeing them in R2.

"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."
