Hi all, I am deciding between submitting two of my GMAT scores or just one and would really appreciate some input. (For clarity, both scores are "cancelled" right now, and I am considering reinstating just one or both of them.)
My first score was a 43Q, 46V, 5IR for an overall 720.
My second score was a 48Q, 44V, and 3IR for an overall 740.
Right now, I am leaning towards submitting both scores. I would like to show that the 3IR on my second exam was an aberration, and I think it would be nice to show that a 46V is within my range of outcomes. Obviously, the concern in sharing the first score would be in sharing the 43Q, but I am hoping that schools may look positively on the improvement to a 48Q and glean from it the hard work I put in to raise my score.
Of course, I could show only my second score. The benefit of doing so would be to anchor school's perception of me to the higher overall score.
So, do you think I would be better-off submitting both scores or just the second? Let me know what you think, and thank in advance!

You are thinking about this the right way - submit both. In addition to an even stronger score in the second attempt, you will be demonstrating perseverance and commitment. There is absolutely no benefit in submitting only the highest one.

We also think you should submit both. The schools will ultimately "count" your best score, but will see your overall higher ceiling.
When people choose to submit one score it's almost always because not only is their overall score higher but also so are their individual components. While the overall higher score is most important, it can be helpful, as you note, to show two scores.
Put it this way, you don't stand to lose at all by submitting two scores particularly since you did so well on both. Congrats!
