Since the original topic is blocked what-do-b-schools-think-of-multiple-gmat-scores-78682.html
I opened a new topic to clarify the urban legend that multiple GMAT hurts you. From reading the forum, I picked rumours that Anderson and Stern supposedly average scores. However, here is what their adcoms say:
Anderson
If I take the GMAT more than once, will you average the scores or take the higher one?
We will see all of your scores and will not average them, but we will primarily consider your highest score.
Stern
For applicants who take the test more than once, the Admissions Committee will consider only the test with the highest total score.
So.. myth busted? Or are you aware about the practice of score averaging or even penalizing of multiple retakes by some schools?
P.S. Disclaimer: naturally we talk about common-sense retakes. Striking 10 times in a row every month or retaking the test after reaching 750... that is insane

Schools will ALWAYS only take the highest score. Taking it two or three times will NOT hurt you as an applicant.
That being said, if you take the GMAT 5 or 6 times it becomes apparent you are score hunting and this is frowned upon.

It makes sense to re-take if you honestly believe that your score doesn't reflect your capability due to whatever reasons. If you take GMAT on two consecutive days, your score could vary by as much as 20-30 points. Hence trying to bump up from 700 to 730 isn't worth it. 650 to 720 is certainly worth it.
Schools primarily consider the highest score. One of the criteria of school rankings is the average score of their incoming class, hence they have an incentive to consider just the top score too.
