How long are GMAT scores good for?

Hi Eric,
If you took the GMAT more than 5 years ago, does that score still count?
The school where I am applying to told me that they won't accept a GMAT score that is more than 5 years old.

That's right, the score doesn't count after 5 years. You have to re-take at that point...

Eric,
That's why I am taking the GMAT again this summer because I took the GMAT more than 5 years ago. I didn't get the score that I wanted, so it is good that my old score "disappeared" from their records.

Thanks for the quick response.

it wont disappeare from their records. period.
but score will have no value since it wont be the correct indicator of your CURRENT analytical / logical skills.
hence nobody will consider your more than 5 yr old score.
