Hi Vincen,
We wouldn't use "if" in this way on the GMAT.
"If" = a hypothetical situation
For example, "If I were the Queen of the Universe, everyone would get Fridays off."
If the Meaning is a choice between two things, "whether" conveys that idea. The Meaning is the choice between purchasing a home and not purchasing home.
