Your GMAT score is valid for five years, giving you the flexibility to send your scores to schools when you are ready. Test-takers often wonder “How to send GMAT scores to B-schools?”, “How to send GMAT scores to colleges?”. Well, here are the answers to all your queries.

How to Send GMAT Scores to Schools?

  4. Verify your program selection and click the “Send GMAT Online Score"

There are three options for sending GMAT scores to schools:

  • Sending GMAT scores before applying for the test day, decide on the five schools that you’re planning on sending your scores to.
  • At the test center before starting the test, select the schools you’re going to send your scores to. The test center will help and guide you through this process.
  • Sending GMAT scores after application, if you decide to keep your scores, they will be automatically sent to the schools you selected when they’re available.

To send official GMAT scores report to as many additional programs as you like will charge additional fees.

To have your scores sent to additional programs, you have the following options:

  1. Log into your account to use the Additional Score Reporting service.
  2. Contact GMAT Customer Service. An additional service fee of US$10 may be required for phone transactions.

Additional score reports are sent within seven calendar days. Here are a few things to remember.

  • Each score report will include GMAT exam scores you have accepted within the past five years.
  • GMAT scores that you have canceled will not be shown.
  • Score reporting fees are non-refundable.
  • You may not remove recipients once you have submitted your request.
  • If you purchase an additional score report within 72 hours of your exam, you will not be able to cancel your GMAT score report online.

How long does GMAT take to send scores?

GMAT Scores are a very important factor to get admission to top business colleges. The official GMAT scores are usually out within 20 days after the test day and GMAC sends the official scores to the selected business schools of your choice. The official GMAT scores take around seven days to reach the admissions office. In case you want to apply to more than five business programs, make sure to send official GMAT scores within the last day of submission.

When to send a GMAT Score?

Take your GMAT test at least 60 days before the admission deadlines of colleges. You will be given your GMAT unofficial score report after the test on the test day itself. The business schools you select will automatically receive your official GMAT scores immediately after it is out. You can send your GMAT scores to additional schools only after your official GMAT scores are published. It takes almost seven days for the business schools to receive your scores, thus apply fast so as not to miss the submission deadline.

Can I choose which GMAT Score to send?

Yes, you can choose which GMAT score you want to send to the business schools. Your GMAT score report contains all the scores from the tests you have taken in the last five years. You can select the scores you want to send to the business schools, the other scores will not appear on the particular score report. If you want to retrieve the GMAT scores which are more than five years old, you need to contact GMAC. So, before you ask for the old scores, ask the college whether they will accept them. RememberGMAT score card validity is for 5 years. Hence GMAT scores more than ten years old are not available.

Cancelling GMAT scores

If you are not satisfied with your GMAT scores you can immediately cancel them after taking the test or cancel them online after your official test score is published. This will require additional charges to be paid. If you have accepted the scores on the test day, you can still cancel them afterward but within 72 hours of when your test starts, with an additional fee of US$25.

GMAT Score Sending Fee

The cost of sending GMAT scores to schools varies on whether you are sending them before or after the test day. GMAT score sending fee to the first five business schools is included in the GMAT test registration fee. Every additional GMAT score report you choose to send to other GMAT colleges will cost $35 USD. If you are ordering your score report over the phone, it will cost an additional $10. You can reinstate your scores even if you have canceled them on the test day, this will cost $50 USD.

Several factors affect the chance of a candidate getting a seat in ISB Hyderabad. Not only the GMAT score, but also the application profile, essays, and performance in the interview combined together decides whether a candidate should get a seat or not in such an elite institute. The points listed below are some important aspects to consider for admission to such institutes.

  • There is no fixed cut-off for ISB Hyderabad, as declared by the institute. There are examples of people with a GMAT score of 720 not getting a seat from the interviews. On the other hand, there are candidates with a score of 700-710 but are successful in getting a seat in ISB Hyderabad.
  • GMAT score is not the only criteria for getting a seat, but the door to get an interview call. The quality of essays written by the candidate, his/her application/ profile, and the performance in the interviews are also considered.
  • For candidates with an average profile, a GMAT score of 720+, along with a complete application and a good essay can be considered to have high chances to receive an interview call. After having a call, the rest depends on how the candidate will perform in his/her interview.

This is the overall scenario for admission in ISB Hyderabad, for a student with an average profile.

I see that you already have more than 50 months of work experience. My suggestion for anyone with such work experience is to opt for the 1-year PGPM Program rather than the 2-year PGDM Program. Keep working for another year and earn your fee for the 1-year program. This way you will save time. Money and even be spared from investing additional efforts when the same could be done in lesser time. The cutoff for both the programs is
