The online GMAT:

This is not ideal, to say the least. For those who applied to GSB's Deferred MBA without a GMAT, what are you going to do? Personally, I would much rather just wait until test centers open than take it under these conditions. This puts us at a huge disadvantage compared to taking it in the test center. However, there is the possibility that test centers don't open before the GSB GMAT deadline.
Would love to hear how deferred candidates are approaching this!
I'm in the same boat as you -- quite disappointed with the online whiteboard requirement.
Fortunately, I have a GMAT score (albeit, a poor 640 Q44, V34, IR8, AWA6), but I really do not want them to consider that score for my application. Even though I sent them these scores, I did not report scores on the application and wrote in under additional information that I planned to retake it prior to the original deadline.
If I were you, I would plan on taking the online version (as will I), and then pray that testing centers open again before the deadline OR that they waive GMAT scores entirely
.
As a deferred applicant without submitting GMAT scores, I wonder if we will still receive interview invites during the same time period from April 20 to May 14 or if it will be delayed until later.
