When should we submit our GMAT scores?

Question

When should we submit our GMAT scores? 
1) We should finish the online application at the university website and then submit the GMAT score.
2) Submit the GMAT score and we can complete the application post-submission of the GMAT score?

I have my GMAT exam in the first week of December and I have only identified 3 potential universities and have yet to start the application. Since GMAC allows us to submit our score posts the test to 5 unis, I am really doubtful about the above question.

Looking forward to your help and suggestions on how to proceed.

Best,
Sanjiev

Good question, not many people think it through and then they end up submitting the pdf of GMAT scores to the business schools and voila, THEY KNOW!!!!!

Anyhow, my personal suggestion (or professional- basically the same thing) is that you find schools with similar characteristics as the ones you have already identified in terms of the value.

Or just hire us and avoid the headache... hahahaha

You can submit post application. B-schools generally ask for unofficial score or score report during application. The final report is required after admit.

It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. The key is just making sure the GMAT score is in before the deadline. Just don't hit SUBMIT until you have the score in hand.

Good luck,

Hello  Sanjiev ,

I hope you are doing well.

In general, submitting your GMAT score as soon as you have it available is a good idea. This will give the admissions committee more time to review your application and make a decision. However, if you are still waiting to receive your GMAT score, you can start working on your online applications.

We would recommend you finish the online application first, then submit the GMAT score

Underlying reasons:
1. You can start working on your applications sooner.
2. You will have a better understanding of the application requirements for each university.
3. You can ensure that your GMAT score is submitted to all of your chosen universities.

If you are waiting to receive your GMAT score, I recommend working on your online applications in the meantime. This will give you a head start and ensure that you are prepared to submit your applications as soon as you have your score.

We would recommend you to schedule a free profile evaluation session with our experts and get a detailed understanding of all the queries you have regarding your profile.
