  Why, this year, is there many boxes for GMAT scores? I took the test twice, went up in every area the second time, can I only put my 2nd (most recent, and highest) score? Or, do I need to put my other score as well? Reply

  Wharton has always asked you to disclose multiple attempts, and has always considered your highest score in reviewing your academic credentials. Nothing has changed here. The only thing that has changed is perhaps making it a little more explicit in the form. This issue of wanting to not disclose GMAT scores has always puzzled me, as adcom are going to see all your scores the instant they check the official GMAT score report anyway. Trying to hide something that is going to be discovered anyway serves only to make the applicant look short-sighted at best, and potentially shifty and untrustworthy.

  Yes, certainly, nothing to hide by any means and definitely understand that when you send your scores to a school they see all attempts. Just wasn't sure why the change - with four boxes for separate scores. Thought maybe it was a thing where you put your scores and then they pick and choose to make a higher, combined/blended score and as such, wouldn't be necessary to include if all your highest scores were on one sitting. Will just include both attempts, easiest that way and doesn't give the impression that I'm trying to purposely not disclose anything. Thank you! Reply

  I believe the system was just updated to reflect the new Integrated Reasoning section. This also provided an opportunity to allow users to submit multiple (up to four) GMAT administrations' worth of scores through the ApplyYourself system.  Generally speaking, AdCom will look across your various subscores to get a sense of what you are capable of achieving. More often than not, AdCom will note your highest subscore performances. At the same time, AdCom will also note and observe trends, high variances, etc.  One should disclose all still-valid scores. Hope this helps! -Victor WG '11 Reply
