Due GMAT Test Dates matter to Ad Coms? [#permalink] New post   08 Feb 2015, 21:51
I am currently studying to take my GMAT and had planned to take it on the 18th of March. Unfortunately, there are no test dates available that day.

I am applying to three schools: Haas, Anderson, and Stanford. All of which have different application due dates.

My question is, do ad coms take into consideration the fact that I take my GMAT AFTER the due date?

Hi itsmedavidv,
I'm Zooey from Aringo. As far as we know, you have to report your unofficial GMAT score on your application, which means you must have a score by the time you submit your application.
Of course you can check the specific instructions for the schools to which you are applying, and maybe even contact the admissions committee and ask for their special consideration.

If you can't get your score by the deadline, you may have to postpone your application. This page can help you find late deadlines: https://www.aringo.com/lowseasondeadlines.htm

Good luck,
Zooey

Hi itsmedavidv,

Try taking the GMAT before the three deadlines if you can push the test date up by a few days. If that's not a possibility, you should write to the b-school adcoms ahead in time and get their go-ahead. In my opinion, they will adjust if its only a few days.

You are applying in the third deadline already- if by chance your application is considered as incomplete without a GMAT score and not accepted by the admissions, then you will have no choice but to wait for the next season's deadlines. That's why its best to work with an approval.

I'm afraid you are gonna have to take the GMAT before the deadlines. Also, I'd probably just suggest that you wait until R1 next year, rather than try for R3, which at a school like Stanford is basically as close to impossible as it can get.... which is not to your advantage...
