Is it a MUST to select 5 colleges while applying for GMAT?

kulksnikhil

Hello guys,

I have a question, while applying for GMAT, I believe, we get to specify 5 colleges for applying.

My question is, Is it a must that I have to specify the 5 colleges, while applying for GMAT? OR is it possible that, I can inform GMAC to send my GMAT score to a particular college, after taking the GMAT?

Thanks and regards,
Nikhil

I have few queries on this topic.

1. How can I choose 5 schools without my score in hand.
2. Does selecting a school in GMAT mean applying for it.

Just an additional question to the above.

I'm taking the GMAT next week, but I don't plan to apply to B-schools for another year or two.

If I select the 5 schools now, does that mean I don't have to pay for these schools to verify my scores _year(s)_ down the line?

Another question, are the codes of the school on the screen to choose from or should we find it and write it down before hand? Or do we just choose by school name. Thanks!

They should provide you the codes.

Hi everyone,

When the score reports go out to the 5 schools I selected, do the schools only see the scores/percentiles or do they also get to see:

what other schools I'm sending my scores to ?

my responses to the gmac questions ?

Eric, thx for your reply.

I emailed PearsonVUE again(tried couple times before with no response) and the following is their response to my question:
When the score reports go out to the 5 schools I selected during the exam, do the schools only see the scores/percentiles or do they also get to see:
1. what other schools I'm sending my scores to ?
2. my responses to the gmac/background questions or just the "self-reported test taker information" that appears on the score report that was mailed to me ?

PearsonVUE:
"Each school will not be able to view any of that information you are inquiring about. They will only see the actual scores, when you tested, and basic candidate details."

How much is the fee to send it afterwards?

Correct - once you send the scores to a school, they have them on record until the scores become invalid (after 5 years).

You may request for additional reports to be sent to schools through the GMAT website at www.mba.com.There is an additional charge of US$ 28 for each additional report requested.

Best wishes,
