Hi all, so I took GMAT quite a while ago and scored 720, AWA 6, which was an average score but I kept it and send the scores to 5 schools for free. However, with time I realized that I am not good at taking GMAT and took the GRE a week ago and got a score of 333, which is considerably better than a 720 in GMAT. Now I am in a dilemma, because, Wharton, one of the schools I'm applying to and had sent my old GMAT scores to, asks whether I have taken GMAT and/or GRE in the application form. What should my response be in this case? Should I just send both the GMAT and GRE scores? I'm concerned if I reply "No" to the GMAT question, they might ultimately find out that I had taken GMAT and sent them the GMAT scores? Will a GMAT 720 hurt my chances even though I scored better in GRE?
Thanks in advance for your response!

You are panicking for no reason! A 720 is a fantastic score in general and is great for Wharton. Schools such as Wharton count your highest score, whether that is the GMAT or GRE and regardless of how many times you take either exam (within reasonable limits.)
They do this because it helps boost their mean/median scores. It's kind of a win-win for the candidate and the school.
You should just let the GMAT score stand and submit your GRE as well. Then, focus on the rest of your application which is where you really can separate yourself from the pack.
Good luck,
Admissionado

Hi rex199124,
Schools will always consider the higher score so you need not worry about the GMAT at all. Besides, a 720 is not a bad score either. You may also submit your GRE score to the school as it will prove to be advantageous.
Thanks.
All the best!
