A lot of times (99%) you will have to make a deposit on one school from R1 before hearing from R2… surprisingly. I have seen schools push deposit deadlines for some applicants who asked. I was surprised.

Thank you! Yea I was worried 700 was too low. I’m planning on giving it again though to see if I can cross 720. Going for HSW in round 2.

Wow! Amazing!
PS. I have seen many people who have gotten stuck around 700 do meaningfully better on the focus version of the test. I don’t think it’s easier or the questions are easier but I think the scoring is less punishing if you make mistakes early in the test.

Amazing result! This speaks volumes about your professional accomplishments👍

Thank you! The only problem with the focus version is it is not accepted by Harvard/Stanford/Wharton. My weakness in Quant is in Geometry and in Verbal it is SC. So I would definitely benefit from the focus version if it were to gain wider adoption this year.

You right 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. I forgot HBS did not take it and Wharton joined it. Sorry for bad advice 😥

GRE maybe unless you already sent GMAT to HSW.

Out of interest, how do you manage the deadlines for decision and deposit regarding the programs that you are accepted to with applying to further schools in R2? Don't you have to decide before R2 decisions are released?
