Haven’t gotten any responses so I wanted to share that I’m considering putting my studying on halt. I won’t be applying this cycle or next, and I don’t see the benefit in studying for another 2+ months.

I was supposed to take the GMAT on Saturday but it got cancelled bc of corona. Planning on applying Round 1 in the fall but if GMAT centers stay closed for a while I'm not sure what to do...my plan is to just go ahead with everything though. Rescheduled GMAT to early May in hopes things will be open by then
