Hi, Mia. Thank you for your answer.
You said students who apply early would have some advantage. Now I have already get a GRE score, but I would take another test several days later for seeking a higher score. Should l apply now, to apply early, and send you the score I’ve already get. Several days later, I’ll send my latest GRE score to you too, would you accept the later one and choose a higher one between them?
Thank you.

Hi Flunk, I would advise you to submit after you receive your latest GRE score (whichever is the better score) so it will be less confusing for the Admissions Committee. Please note that the School will assess your application holistically hence the other required documents are as important. :)
