GMAT score validity [#permalink] New post   30 Jun 2017, 22:23
Hi,
Although validity of GMAT as per GMAC is 5 years, is it correct that many of the top rated Business Schools around the world only accept scores attained before 3 years or the '5 year validity' is a universally accepted principle across all schools?

Nope.
Your GMAT is valid for five years.

GMAT score is valid up to five years and it is true that MOST Schools accept GMAT Score attained within 5 year range from application. But few schools have ONLY 3 years backet of acceptance of a gmat score. Here are valid links from school itself and mba.com that say the same thing:

Admission Criteria

GMAT score: Valid GMAT score taken within 36 months from date of application.

iimc:

Valid GMAT Score (taken within last 36 months of application date).

Most of the schools accept GMAT scores for 5 years, however, it is worth checking for some specific schools which you are applying for if they accept it.

I have seen some schools clearly stating on their website on the requirement for GMAT within 36 months.

So ideal thing would be finalize the colleges to which you would like to apply and check the criteria for those schools to be 100% sure.

Hope this helps.
