I think the higher score helps even with a slightly lower engineering GPA. Assume you’ve notified Kellogg of the new score, too. Showing impact and growth at work will be essential. Sounds like your goals make sense, and you have decent ECs, some of which related to your goals. (0)

aj397 Likes Earned: 0 Yes, sent the new GMAT to both Tuck and Kellogg. Does it make sense to try an add another school as a 'safety'? Also want to be cognizant of the < 4 weeks remaining until R2 deadlines. (0)

aj397 Likes Earned: 0 Apologies -- sent the new score AFTER Tuck waitlisted me, so will notify them and Kellogg of the new score. Thanks for all the help. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1883 Yes, that’s an important distinction, the new score may help with your waitlist at Tuck. Yes, might be worth considering another program, from the same tier as Duke. Do you have recommenders that could support you, even with the shorter notice, and holidays upcoming? (1)
