Hi tele,

Did you give GMAC a call to discuss your issue?

Hi,

No I did not. I wrote an inquiry message to GMAC about this issue.

Gotcha. Let us know when things get sorted out.

I have just received the answer:

Our system does not recognize foreign characters, only Roman characters. The foreign characters from your name must remain registered in our database with their equivalents from the Roman alphabet. Be assured, having your name listed this way in our database will not prevent you from taking the GMAT exam.

I think the main point for me is I should type "y" instead of "ý", even though I think second sentence is slightly ambiguous. Did I understand it correctly?

tele - Yes, I interpret that response the same way you had: just enter "y." You have assurance from GMAC™ that that will suffice, so you have no reason to believe otherwise. With that nonsense out of the way, I hope you can focus on actually studying for the test. Good luck.

- Andrew

I agree; just use the letter “y.”
