GMAT and Application nationality [#permalink] New post   24 Jul 2022, 17:11
Hi,

I am sitting for GMAT tomorrow as an Argentinian citizen. I am also a Spanish citizen, and I plan on applying to some universities as Spanish.

Will the schools be able to link my GMAT score even though I use different passports? Should I apply as both Spanish and Argentinian? Is there any way to make the GMAT notify universities or something alike?

Thanks!

I will suggest you give the GMAT using the country passport you have been residing in now. You can add your other nationality information to your school application but don't use two different passports for your GMAT.

We agree. You are likely overthinking the value of nationality/citizenship in the process, especially once you are determined to be an international student (assuming you are applying to US schools?)

You will have ample opportunity in your application to indicate citizenship, current residence, etc. Where you take the GMAT and how you indicate your nationality is of minimal to zero importance. Schools are not going to start linking about citizienship to the spot you take GMAT.

Above all, how you weave in your nationality is going to matter in your essays. If it plays a big role in your overall story and background, you should mention it. If it didn't have much influence in who you are (or where you plan to go post-MBA), then it might look forced to include.

We're happy to discuss further.

Hello ramirocastelao,

You must try and keep this simple. If you reside in Argentina, you should apply as an Argentinian. Details of your having citizenship of Spain can be discussed elsewhere, if asked for, and if it fits in the narrative of your essays. Do not use different passports.

Good luck!
