Which percentiles to self report?

by Bschool2013 » Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:28 am
I took the GMAT last September, and of the 5 schools I sent my score to, I will be applying to 3. I just ordered a score report for a 4th school and noticed that official report's percentages changed a little bit to reflect the current test taker pool:

My question is, which percentile score do I self report? My thinking for the first 3 use the original percentiles, and for the 4th school report the updated percentiles. I'm not trying to "game" the system since the changes are rather insignificant, I'd just like to avoid any sort of discrepancy when self-reported scores are bounced against the official score report.

I would self report whatever percentage is on the score report that has been sent to the school.

However, if you're concerned, it's probably worth sending a quick question the admissions office for the schools you're interested in.
