About forwarding GMAT scores

by jmammadov » Mon Oct 27, 2008 7:48 am
I took the GMAT this August (700), and I am now applying to schools and forwarded my scores to schools earlier this month.

My question is - when you forward your score to, for example, 6 schools at once, do schools see on the reports that they receive what other schools I forwarded my GMAT score to? I.e. can they figure out what other schools I am applying to?

If they do see it on the report, wouldn't that be a privacy violation?

I emailed GMAC about it, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks.

The GMAC says that they make the score available to the school. which probably means that the school has some kinda option to log in and see your score. They cannot see which other schools you have sent your score to.

You are right-- It is a privacy issue and given how touchy people are about privacy, i dont think the GMAC would want to get sued all the time :D

They can't see what schools you are applying to, only your score.

Thanks, guys. GMAC emailed back confirming what you said above - that schools don't see where else you forwarded your score.
