Hi Avishay,

Since the "standard" for most Schools is a valid GMAT score within 5 years of the application submission, the likely answer to your question is "No; there won't be that many reputable Schools that will accept a GMAT score that is older than 5 years." Since it does not take much effort to schedule and take the GMAT, Schools would likely be suspicious of anyone who tried to apply with an out-of-date Score (and ask why you didn't just retake the GMAT).

If we assume that you won't be able to find a solution to this problem, then the next step will be to re-study and retake the GMAT (assuming that you still want to go to Business School). While this is probably not an idea that makes you happy, the fact that you're aware of it in February is much better for you than if it were May/June. You now have plenty of time to study, take the GMAT again and apply for Round 1 in the fall (if that general timeline fits your goals).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
