Army Officer and United States Military Academy grad with an engineering undergrad degree. Worried about GRE scores for target schools, casting wide net right now, but may not take test again due to other circumstances.
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!
