Official score reports can take up to 2 weeks to be released if it goes into scrutiny. Normally it will be released within 3-4 days. You should plan on taking it in last week of December itself.

hi guys , i plan on taking the GMAT in first week of jan to try to improve my score. Until when can we take it since Darden requires official scores to be sent considering the deadline is 7th ?

Technically, you can take it on the day of the deadline. Don’t recommend it but you could 😇

This is because you only need your unofficial score to enter into the application and submit the application. The official score can come weeks later. This is because the admissions team doesn’t run to check and verify that your scores are matching until a much later time.

The danger of the strategies that if something goes wrong and your test gets interrupted or you have to retake then you’ll have no score to enter when you submit the application. But if they decide to have administrative review of your score, that’s just a delay and not really a problem. Some people had to wait a month for their administrative review to take place last year and wasn’t really an issue

Submit the application with the current score if you aren’t able to get the score report for the latest attempt in time.

This seems like a chicken in the egg. I’ve never heard of this. This seems very unusual. Let me ask someone who applied in the first round or early round. I’ve never heard of a school requiring to validate a score. Never.

@gmatheld - did you have to validate your score before you submitted your application to Darden?

I applied in Early action and I couldn’t submit the application without the official report. I had sent an email to the Adcom to confirm if we need to send the report via gmac.

They asked me to do that

I had asked this to an Adcom. They said that they will consider the new score. But there is no guarantee of that being considered if your application has been reviewed and your profile was not shortlisted for an interview. So send it asap.

That’s very interesting. Usually you just send the score and you just have to send it and they show you the status that it’s been validated weeks later.... Super weird. I guess I learned something new 😇
