You should definitely send your score to the schools of your choice. You get 5 'free' schools to send your score to (you choose the schools before you start the test). If you don't send your score to any schools and end up having to do so later it will cost ~$28/school I think. As far as what schools to send them to, that's a personal choice. Do some research on schools/programs you might be interested in.

Thanks a ton for such a quick reply. Can you suggest me some surveys and reading that would help me to select the schools.

You should check out the B-School Application forum. There are some good school discussions there. You may want to look into the Admission Consultants forum as well. If you give them some of your stats, prior work experience, and post-mba goals, they might be able to steer you in the right direction.

There's actually a rough B-School Selector Application which can be found at: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#-school-selector/

Mind you, this is a rough indication but it will give you a range of schools you could fit given your target GPA etc. The question of "Which school?" is one that is intrinsically personal and dependent on your fit/career goals/caliber.

Use that site as a rough indication, look at the US News Rankings to find similar schools based on which concentration you'd like to pursue in an MBA. Find out what the campuses are like, and what their specialties are.

This is just ONE step in the process. But that said, don't choose only based on rank.

I'm going to be a senior in college but I'm taking GMAT at the end of the summer to a)get it over with b)have a lot of the material fresh in my head and c) to use my store for fall recruiting at the big investment banks.

I don't know when I'll apply to BSchool, but it likely won't be for 2-4 years. Should I send the scores when I take the test anyway, and they will just sit in the admissions office for 5 years?
