Help!! urgent

by madfame » Sat Jun 27, 2009 1:25 pm
Hey guys I just gave the gmat.
And an error occured at the end while reporting scores. Hence, the test administrator said that most probably i'll have to re schedule my gmat for which I'll be notified after 21 days.

Now the problem is that, I have to apply before 1st july to hbs 2+2 and as due to technical errors my score was not legal it will not be considered !! Now wat to do??? Also I cant reappear before 31days..

Need suggestions to this problem.. Its urgent..

Thanks..

This is a tough break.

My suggestion is to try and talk directly to the HBS admissions office and explain the situation. It will be to your advantage to show that the error was the testing service's and not yours.

This is not the first time that this has happened so communicate early and clearly and hope for the best.

Cheers--

I have no idea if HBS will consider it or not. I do, however, think it's your best option. As I said, you are probably not the first person to whom this has happened.

As for its being the weekend, did you really think that you were going to get this resolved today?
