What do you plan to do post retake? You can't submit it to most schools after r2 deadline

like

Inform the schools that you would be sharing an updated score by x date. Marginal return of retaking depends on strength of other aspects of your application and score on mock tests.

I had a 730 and retook after applications to get 750 post round 1 submissions. Got into multiple M7
