Hey all I took 3 attempts at the GMAT.
First time I got a 680 and I had selected a bunch of schools to which the score went.
Second time I got a 660 and I cancelled the score.
Third time I got a 750 and I sent the score to the same schools I had sent to in my first attempt (i.e. Oxford, INSEAD, LBS, Rotman, HEC).
In light of my new score I am thinking of applying to HBS/Wharton instead of Oxford/HEC.
Would the HBS/Wharton folks be able to figure out that I got 750 on my 3rd attempt even though I did not send them my scores during the test? Can that be viewed as a negative?

If you send in your scores to HBS/Wharton people, they will know that you have taken the test twice.
Attempt 1 - 680
Attempt 2 - 750
So, they'll not know about your 660 attempt.
Hope this helps @dont_give_up

Hi dont_give_up,
As Keats has pointed out, if you sent your first score and your most recent score to HBS/Wharton/etc., then they'll know that you took the GMAT twice. Since you cancelled your second score, no one will know that that result even exists (although it will still appear in the file that YOU can see). All of that having been said, Business Schools generally don't care if you take the GMAT more than once AND the fact that you showed significant improvement between these two scores will likely be seen as a 'positive' (and the improvement is an idea that you could 'spin' as part of your profile, especially if you do an interview as part of the application process).
