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?


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.
