Percentile question

Hi there,
I've noticed that due to a strong increase in GMAT takers, percentile scores are going down. For instance, I took the test last year and scored 680 (88%) with a Q43 (70%) and V40(89%).
This year, same score means an overall percentile 86% and a Q of 68%.

I wanna ask: admission committees what will see? The old percentile score or the new one?

Thanks a lot!
