Hey LadyRoadWarrior:

thanks for reaching out to me. While this may seem like a fairly straightforward question, I actually believe that it is a fairly insightful question. To answer your question quickly, the admissions committee does not need to know about your 100 point increase. Of course, they will see both GMAT scores on the official report, but I suppose this is really beside the point.

What I want to expand upon here is a couple of things. First, it is always important to view things from the admissions committee point of view. While this is easier for me to say then for you to do, I want you to pretend that you are a member of the committee. Now, imagine you are reviewing hundreds, if not thousands of applications. As a member of the admissions committee, you really want to know the bare minimum of information that will paint a picture. Basically, this is why it is really not notable to mention this information. Second, a significant percentage of applicants take the test more than once and score higher the second time through. Adding this information will also serve to add baggage to your application and frankly, might even make it more annoying to read through your application. So don't do it. Just leave it be and give yourself a high-five. Seriously -- 100 points -- nice work!

Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti
