Hi all,
I took the GMAT two days ago and scored 660 (Q47 V34). Disappointing result, considering my goal of at least 700.
Now, my question is: should I cancel my score?
I want to apply to MSc Financial Economics at Oxford, MSc Finance at London School of Economics, Masters in Financial Analysis at London Business School, and MSc Finance at Stockholm School of Economics. The UK schools are my first choice.
I know my score is not good enough for Oxford, LSE, or LBS, so I will have to apply in the next round with a retake.
However, SSE had a GMAT range of 640-770 (median 700) in the 2022 intake. Is it smarter to just keep my score so I know I can apply to SSE by the final deadline on January 15, and then retake the GMAT in a month for the UK schools? I'm just worried that having the score on my record will hurt my chances if I manage to improve it.
About my GMAT experience:
I planned to take the GMAT online early next week, but I made a dumb mistake in that I missed that Oxford MFE only allows the online GMAT in special cases. I immediately checked the available test center times, and the only available time was 11 hours later. I booked it and took an offcial mock test before I went to bed, which I scored 670 on. My only other OG test scores are 720 which I took one week earlier, and 640 which is the test I took before I even knew how the GMAT is structured.
On the test day I actually felt pretty good. Not pressed on time at all. I finshed both quant and verbal with 5 minutes left. Got kind of surprised when I saw the results, because I didn't feel like I struggled with a lot of questions. Thinking more about it, I understand that having time over and feeling that the test is easy might not be a good sign.
My profile (if it matters for any of your advice):
Don't know conversion of my GPA, but I have 11.25/12 on Danish scale (10 A's and 6 B's on EU ECTS scale) from Copenhagen Business School, current part-time position in a Big 4 Corporate Finance team, have an ok 6-month internship from a in-house strategy department, exchange at Bocconi.
Sorry if this post was a bit unstructured. Thank you for any help.

Hi adampaul.
I doubt schools will care that you have one GMAT score that's a little below their averages. So, I think you can safely keep the 660 on your record.
If you want to get confirmation from admissions consultants, you can try asking the same question in this forum. https://gmatclub.com/forum/the-b-school ... ation-103/

Hi. It doesn’t matter whole lot if you have a random score on your profile. You can cancel it if it makes you feel better…. But in reality, it does not really get taken into consideration for evaluating your candidacy.
If you’re not going to use the score, you can cancel it. If you think you may use it, you can always resurrected and reinstate it for 50 bucks or something like that. If you think you use it, then I would not cancel it. The decision is really about 50 bucks and a mentally clean slate 😬
It sounds like he may use it for some apps so I would keep it. Also, if you end up critiquing, you can retake even the day before the deadline for applications, usually. The rules require that you take the test before you submit your application and that means it can be done the day before. I don’t recommend it since it would be good to get rid of the test requirements and dive into your applications, but it is possible.
