Hi there,

I'm retaking GMAT in 2 days. I got 690 in July. In summer I contacted the admission department of the school where I want to do my MBA and they told me that my Gmat score combined with my academic and professional background was enough to be admitted in the program.

However, I want to apply for a scholarship which asks a minimum score of 700 in the Gmat. I started restudying Gmat the 10th of September but I have had a horrible month full of problems and haven't had the chance to study properly. I only managed to do the exercises of the OG-Review (quant and verbal), Manhattan Free CAT (680) and Kapplan free CAT (650). But my biggest problem is that I am doing the exam in 2 days and I'm sick. So I'm not too confidence about getting 700+

So my question is whether the day of the exam I should choose to send the scores to the university I want to apply to. And, how much is it to send the scores to only 1 university?

My understanding of my options:

A. If I choose not to send the scores and I get less than 690 the university won't see it.

B. If I choose not to send the scores and I get more than 690, I can ask GMAC to send the score - if the price is reasonable.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The universities, to which you are reporting the score, can see the all your attempt history and scores.

You can report your scores to 5 universities free for each attempt of your GMAT.

You mean that when they review my application they'll see all my attempts anyway, whether I choose to report the scores or not?

Thanks
