Hello.
Regarding the GMAT Focus Edition, the official site states: "Included in your GMAT Focus Edition registration, you have the option to send your Official Score Report to up to five (5) programs for free within a 48-hour period. After this period, or if you want to send your score to more programs, you can send additional score reports for a fee."
Which basically means that you need to have a list of 5 schools/programs ready that you'd like to apply to. Which is fine, but does it mean that I should have already started the application process to the 5 schools/programs that I selected?
- If yes, does my report automatically get attached to my application? But do BSchools (that require the GMAT score) even accept applications without the GMAT score, in the first place?
- If no, then does my score just sit in their system till I start applyng to them and then automtically attach itsef to my application?
I'm new to the whole BSchool application process, please explain to me like you'd explain it to a complete beginner.

This would help me undersand when to give my GMAT.
Thank you in advance!
