send bad scores to the schools?

Alex -

Let's say you bomb the GMAT and don't want to send Acme B-School your score. A month later you take the test again, do great, and send your score to Acme. My understanding is that Acme will see both the score you just sent plus your earlier results. And some schools even insist on averaging the two scores, no matter your previous intentions. Can anyone confirm this?

And by the way, you do have the option to cancel the test, but you have to make that decision before you see the score. Of course, if you do cancel, you won't ever get to see the score. I'm cheap - if I've forked out $250, I might as well see what how I did. And I believe that any school who receives scores from a subsequent test will see that you sat for a test that you then cancelled.

Any other thoughts on this?
