I am re-taking the GMAT mainly for one school (Rice) that is a bit of a long shot. My previous was not good enough for Rice, but just good enough for two others that I am applying to. I sent my previous score to the other two scores and am in the process of applying to them. I am affraid I may go in and score way lower(possible) and don't want the score to go the previous two schools.

So if I just select Rice tomorrow, but the other schools other two schools previously got my score. Will the other schools get tomorrow's score, hope not.

If you have not submitted your applications yet, you will have to honestly report your GMAT scores. If the score goes down, you may not be able to hide this from them. If you have submitted your application, they will look at the score you reported when you applied, and will probably not even check the actual report until after they decide.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
