Ravens92Thank you for submitting your scores, and congrats on a 730! How does the rest of your application look? What's your background? If your profile is otherwise strong, I would indeed remove #3. The 2 point difference (47 vs 49) in quant will not be a deal breaker. Again, a better understanding of your overall profile can help determine if canceling score #3 makes sense.
As to showing the exam #3 to Tuck only, you can select at least 5 schools and if you wish to send the scores to one school then select one school and proceed.
Six schools are quite a process. I recommend you reach out for a free consultation to discuss your profile, and how we can help you craft tell your story in the best light. Feel free to reach out via email (contact details in signature) to coordinate or submit a profile evaluation form via:

I took the GMAT the max 5-times for the year and am wondering which results to cancel and which results to send to schools. I'm planning to apply to ~6 of the top 15 schools for a 2019 intake. My scores are as follows:
Test 1: 680 (Forget exact breakdown, but no section was highest among all attempts)
Test 2: 700 (Q:47, V:38, IR:7)
Test 3: 690 (Q:49, V:35, IR:7)
Test 4: 730 (Q:47, V:42, IR:7)
Test 5: 670 (Forget exact breakdown, but no section was highest among all attempts)
I currently have attempts #1, #3, and #5 cancelled, so I'm showing a 700 and 730. It seems like a no-brainer to keep attempts #1 and #5 cancelled. My real question is about how important it is to show test #3's slightly higher quant score at the expense of showing another "lower" overall score. On one hand, showing a 49 says I'm capable of scoring at more than a 63rd percentile in quant, which I did regularly in my practice tests. On the other hand, it forces me to show a test where I bombed the verbal and may make the 730 appear like more of an outlier. I can reinstate attempt 3 if necessary. What would you do?
Secondary Question: I've heard Tuck will consider the highest section across attempts. If it's determined that it's best to keep attempt 3 cancelled, would there be some way to reinstate so that only Tuck could see it? This is my first time posting - thanks for your help.
