Hi,
This might be a naive question.
Can I decide on which 5 schools to choose after seeing my GMAT score or should I choose them at the beginning before starting the exam?

Thanks

You have to choose before starting.

however you can always opt to cancel your scores, then none of the schools you selected will receive them.

Hirajiskrish,

Unfortunately, you can't. You'll have to select the schools prior to the start of your exam. More details here:

Send Your GMAT Score to Schools

Hope this helps!

Hi rajiskrish,

As has already been mentioned, you select the schools at the beginning of your exam. Of course, for a fee, you can send out your score report to additional schools after you have taken the GMAT.

Feel free to reach out with any further questions.
