Hi All,
I am planning to take gmat in early november. Most of the top ranked colleges have their deadlines in december/jan except for Cornell/Haas(November end).
I am a reapplicant at Cornell.I got an interview call last time but i am retaking gmat again to see how it goes.What is ur suggestion.Should i wait till round 3 and then apply or give gmat in 1st week of november and apply for the 28th November deadline?
Is it ok if i submit my gmat score after 28th November but submit rest of my application.Will this be considered a complete application?

Thanks,
Shreeraj

As far as i know (you should verify that, though) you get your unofficial score right after the test, and it's good enough for the application. Later, the official score is sent to the school and it can happen after the deadline.

"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."
