At the end of the GMAT you can submit your scores to three schools. For those of you who have taken the GMAT, where you contacted by those schools within a couple months? I have heard various answers for this so I would like to get some feedback. I took the test a month ago and I have not been contacted by the schools that I submitted my scores to. I was told that if my scores were competitive, someone from the school would contact me and I could further an application process from there.


I have not officially applied to any of the schools yet, so Im not certain as to how accurate this information is. I'd appreciate any feedback you guys have on the topic. Thanks.

i submitted my scores to 5 schools. have been contacted by 3 of them and a whole bunch of others that i didn't give my scores to. i got a pretty good score - 760, and was offered application fee waivers by some schools as well.

How long was it (after you took the test) that you started to get contacted by schools?

mkbigmoz,

No need to wait. You can manage the process and reach out to those schools' admissions departments!

Best,
