Or the only program to be honest and actually say it first.
Let me diagree with you on this one. It is actually to the school's advantage to look at, accept and report your highest GMAT score so that the school's reported GMAT mean/median looks better. Moreover, most schools encourage applicants to take the GMAT more than once to improve their scores. It is in the interest of the program to do so.
As others have already pointed out, Yale only takes your highest score when they report the scores to the media.
Now as far as other schools taking into account all of an applicant's scores... I assume all schools do this. For instance, if an applicant scores a 490 on the first attempt and then a 760 on the second (extreme example used to highlight my point), don't you think somebody will wonder what's up?
But taking account of all scores can work for or against you. If you score a 680 (q46, v 38) and then a 620 (q 44 v 35) then this looks bad.
