Schools with official score requirement(prior application deadline).

Question

Original Post

Many schools do not require you to send your official score reports of the GMAT during the application process. You are only required to send the official score reports (that is, get the testing agency to send official score reports on behalf of you) if you are admitted. Official reports are required only as part of the post-admission verification process. So, you plan ahead and send score during GMAT to schools which require official score for application processing.

I have updated the list from the linked post. Will keep updating the list. Please let me know if anybody finds any discrepancy.

Disclaimer: The requirement of official score may change without any notice, so you must check from the school about the latest status.

Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to pull together! I am a late test-taker, so very helpful for me. One adjustment - MIT Sloan does allow self-reporting as long as official score transmission is initiated by application deadline (source same as OP):

What is the last date on which I can take the GMAT?

You may take the GMAT anytime up to the last day of the application deadline. The GMAT must be taken before the online application form is submitted and must be self-reported on that electronic application. No submissions will be allowed without complete GMAT or GRE scoring information.

Do I have to send you the official GMAT/GRE score report now? Or, must it be sent upon admission?

We require that the official GMAT/GRE test scores are sent to us by the application deadline. We understand that sometimes it takes 1-2 weeks for the test centers to release the scores. Therefore, it is acceptable if we receive the scores shortly after the application deadline.

I recently took my GMAT and will not receive the AWA score for another four weeks. Can I submit my application without the AWA score?

Yes, you may submit the electronic application without reporting the AWA score.

Isn't the information for NYU contradicting?

It states YES but then in the explanation it says the AdCom can start the review of the application with unofficial score.

What is correct?
