Name spelling in the GMAT Score and in the new passport

by wondering_too » Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:58 am
I am confused to post here with such a topic, but..

The spelling of my name in my GMAT Test report differs from that in my new international passport. It happened because the internal policy of transliteration in our country have changed.

So, I have identical names in my GMAT and TOEFL reports, but different name in the passport. Did anyone cope with such situation successfully?

What to do? Can GMAC change the spelling of the name after the test, or I should address adcoms with this issue?

The change is minor, and all other fields (birth dates, etc.) are the same.

Hi wondering_too --

You might want to ask the official GMAC representative here if they can change the name: https://www.beatthegmat.com/ask-the-test-maker-f71.html

If you're concerned whether the schools will accept your GMAT score based on these differences, then it may not be a problem. The schools know that GMAC has good processes on verifying people's identity before taking the test. If the misspelling is that minor, it's possible that the schools will overlook it. You could always contact the admissions office at your target schools to see what they say.

Good luck!
