June 15: GMAT 1: 690 (Q:48 V:37)
July 17: GMAT 2: 690 (Q:46 V:40)
Just wrote my second GMAT today... I got the exact same overall score but with different scores in Q and V. I sent the first scores to some schools but I didn't send the second score to any schools. The "C" for cancelling the second score will therefore be removed from the scorecard and no one will ever see it if I don't get it reinstated (according to the new rules).
Is there any reason to get that second GMAT score reinstated (for when I actually apply to schools)? I imagine the first score is more desirable since it is slightly more balanced. That being said, the second score seems to be a bit better since I dropped by two in Q but improved by 3 in the verbal section, which tends to be worth more. Admissions may also see that my highest score in each section results in an overall score above 700 (~710 Q:48 V:40).
Any thoughts? Or does this not matter at all?

This will literally make no difference (unless you're applying to Tuck, I guess).

Hi eltonj,
You might want to ask the Admissions Experts in their Forum about this:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
Academically-speaking, reinstating that second score so that you can have two 690s (with slightly different Scaled Scores) is probably NOT beneficial. Business Schools (especially the really competitive ones) are going to nitpick your OVERALL application, not these two (almost identical) scores.
