Hi there,

That's a great question! Honestly, I don't think it will really help to reinstate old scores. Applicants have a wide variety of reasons for their GMAT test taking timeline and the adcom is not automatically jumping to the conclusion that you're not serious about getting an MBA just because of your late test date unless other aspects of your application lead them to believe so. At this point, your time will be best spent finalizing some killer essays (with a cohesive story, clear goals, clear reasons for pursuing an MBA now, etc.), tightening up your resume, and making sure that your recommenders have everything they need to write great LORs. That total package is much more important.

If you're one of those people who is always going to doubt your decision, then sure, it can't hurt to reinstate old scores. But it won't be a deal breaker (or deal maker) either way.

Best of luck to you!

Best,
Melody
