Retake in January or wait until next cycle?Hi all! I've been grappling with this decision for the last week or so, since receiving my November score. Before the official test i was PTing in th…
January is still viable for an application, but going from a 158 to a score that will warrant high scholarship T14 admits is a tough one in 6 weeks, even as a URM. I'd just keep studying and let your scoring call your timeline. -
Does it really matter how many times you test?I have always heard that admissions only looks at your highest score…how true is this? If not, how many times is ideal max to test?
Generally speaking, you should not take it more than 5 times! Anything more than that will raise questions. Note that cancellation also counts as a take, but no-show and withdraw (before the test) will not count. -
