Two GMAT scores and their scope

by ajay_deepak » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:31 pm
Recently I gave GMAT and chose 5 schools to send my score. I received a mail stating the official score cards have been mailed to the schools. Now, if I give another GMAT and choose not to send the score to any school then those 5 schools will never come to know about my new GMAT score. However if I want to send the score to some new schools then is there a way to send just the old score to new schools?

I guess for those new schools my entire scoring history will be sent.

Also I will apply for the class of 2013, i.e. 2 years from now, so if I retake the GMAT and choose not to send the new score to schools to which I sent my old score then will those schools ever come to know about my new GMAT scores?

Hope to get a reply.

The mba.com website clearly states that ALL your scores will be sent to the schools you choose to send your scores to. Why would you want to send your old score anyways? ? The idea behind re-taking the GMAT is to improve your score right?

Dear ajay,

Schools will receive the score report for the test date you select. If you have taken the test more than once, it will also show your other attempts. Whether or not the score report for your first test will show your score for your second test is unclear, but I think you should assume that it will. Schools will use the GMAT test with the highest total score in your evaluation. It is not a negative, per se, to score lower on a second attempt or third attempt--what matters is how you do on your best test.

Regards,
Lisa
