by tres_desole » Tue Aug 31, 2010 5:05 am
Is it possible to delay the college selection option in the test for later?

Sure. If you want to pay for submission. You get 4 freebies on test day, so you should take advantage.

Is it before you attempt the test or After you have seen the score that you select the colleges on the test day?
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

I don't think so. According to MBA.com:

"On the day you take the GMAT®, before you begin the exam, you may select up to five (5) GMAT Programs to receive your Official Score Report.
These recipients will receive the Official Score Report within 20 calendar days of your test. This service is covered by your registration fee. Once you have made your selections, you will not be able to change or delete them. The cost to send an Additional Score Report is US$28."

Is there any good reason not to select five colleges to have your score sent to for free on test day? In other words, is there a good reason to wait? Won't the schools eventually get your scores anyway?

Not to burst your bubble, but for what reason would you like to do this? Are you not sure about your selection, or are you trying to hide your scores from schools?

Also, if you look at the screenshot you submited, it did not say that you could send your scores afterwards for FREE. It just stated that you could send scores afterwards period.

I believe this is referring to the fact that you can *pay* to have your scores sent out after you take the test.

Have you researched any schools at all that you can send your scores to? My understanding is that the schools are not mailed the scores, but they are granted access to them after you take the test. So they won't actually see them unless you apply. And, if you have to retake the test, you can't choose specific tests for them to see. They'll see all of your scores.
