Notes:

I'm looking to apply to the Haas EWMBA and UCLA FEMBA for the Fall 2025 intake. I'm looking to accelerate my career in a highly competitive industry (tech strategy) and want the part time MBA experience for the network and career resources, as well as deepening my business foundation. I just took the GRE and got a 324 (Q: 163, V:161) - with apps due soon, I wouldn't be able to retake till after R1 submissions are due. Looking for feedback on whether I should submit with this score or wait Round 2 to apply and retake the exam. Thanks!
