GMAT current format- B-School acceptance

[manukmittal1990]

Hi,

I was weighing the new GMAT to soon to be replaced format. Will the B-schools accept the old format results in the next year admission rounds? Haven't done much research, just wanted to make sure its good to go with this format before its replaced...

Yup, they will, I'm sure of it! The change to the test isn't substantial enough to warrant any worries!

Yep. I think if GMAC made all the people who had test score retake, they would have a lot of very angry customers to deal with.

I think they should accept the old GMAT, the score is valid for 5 years.
They can't deny all those who took the test before the change and make them take it again, it's not fair.

Thanks for asking this question manukmittal1990, it was a question I was also pondering because I took it in March but I don't intend to apply for a year or so. I'm curious to see how the new format will impact my percentiles...unless they won't be comparing the old and new tests (which, realistically they shouldn't, but you never know).
