Now with this superscore published in August, do I need to resend that score to include superscore details?

technically yes, but an LBS admissions person told me I could indicate superscore on the application instead of sending through mba

Hi I think there could be a confusion. Basically, to apply there are two links, one of them is the correct. [If I am right about the issue you are facing]
