Before you see your scores, you can pick 5 Grad schools to submit your scores to. Well, if you don't feel so great about your potential score, wouldn't it be wiser to simply pick 1 school? That way you would be minimizing the impact of a poor score, correct?
For example, lets say I would like to apply to 5 Grad schools. I take the GMAT and instead of picking the 5 schools I want to submit my scores to, I pick my least desired school. I score a 500, and this score only goes to the lowest school on my list. This way, I would be minimizing a damaging score. The school highest on my list would never see a poor score.
But on the other hand, if I score a 700, and my score is only submitted to my least desired school, I can later submit my score to any other desired schools, correct?
What is wrong with this strategy? Unless, ALL scores are submitted to schools, regardless of the choice you make on the GMAT.
