Special Characters in Names

by kevincanspain » Sat Jan 17, 2015 10:02 am
How should candidates type their names when registering if these names have accents?
For example, Begoña, Movenpick (with two dots over the o)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Kevin,

Please leave the accent marks off when registering. GMAT registration information should be done with roman characters only.

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply! So Begoña would be Begona, right?
