Reporting a GMAT score [#permalink] New post   05 Dec 2021, 19:10
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding GMAT score reporting.
I have a current (within 5 years score) that expires in Aug 2022.
I have target schools in my mind where I am going to apply but their applications open ONLY in Dec 2022.
My question is-
Is it a good idea to forward my GMAT score to that school right away (while it is within the 5 years period) and tell them in the application ( in Dec 2022) that I had forwarded the score to them? When they open the application in Dec 2022/ Jan 2023, will they still be able to see my score which was reported when it was fresh/ valid/ within 5 years as they see a usual score OR will they see it with a note saying "it is outdated, etc?"

In brief, does the school get to "see" my GMAT score as "fresh" if I forward it NOW instead of waiting till Dec 2022 when I get to submit the application?
- Thank you all for your advice in advance.

Hi. I don’t think it will work because the score will have expired at the time of application.

The school will not be able to look up and validate your score. All they get is a database of applicants…. Then they match your application to the score in a database. They don’t have a letter or a piece of paper…. So by the time they will go to match your score in Feb or March 2023, your score will not be accessible….

Check with your target schools if they would defer admissions, so that you can apply and get an admit now. Most of the top schools will not allow deferring and may advice to reapply( in that case your GMAT score is gone!). Some schools allow deferring without reapplying, but they have to make exception through their admission committee, which you may not want to undergo. I would suggest to take GMAT again when you're ready. Good luck!

Hi SG2017,

If the 5-year 'validation period' for your Official Score expires in August of 2022, then there will probably be nothing for the School's Representatives to look at when/if they try to confirm your GMAT Score result. A potential 'work-around' could be available IF you were able to talk with someone in the Admissions Department in that School who would be willing to access your Official Score right NOW (or in the near future) and then document and accept that result for when you apply later on (even though it would be 6-12 months before the School's application window). It's tough to say how likely you will be to succeed in this, but the simple act of contacting the School directly to ask might help to prove how serious you are about attending this Program (which might help you to 'stand out' in the application process).

HI SG2017,

Unfortunately by the time you apply your GMAT score will be expired, so you likely will have to take the GMAT again, so you can submit a valid score. That said, you could reach out to the folks in admissions to see if there is anything they can do before going down the path of retaking the GMAT.
