Strange Predicament!!

by dendude » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:22 am
I have a pretty Strange predicament...
I took the GMAT last year with little or no preparation by just perusing through the standard books. I scored a 510, which was correct I guess.
I set my next GMAT appointment for last month.
I was not able to make the appointment due to one of the Freeways being closed and I lost my way to the test center.
I called them up and informed them that I would'nt be able to make it.

My question is when I take my test next and submit scores to schools would this show up on my report?
Currently on my profile it displays as Absent/No show.
If it does show up on the report, what would the repurcussions be?
Pls advise.

If you didn't show up, I don't think that it will be reported to your schools--but I may be wrong.

In any event, even if the 'no show' did appear on your score report, it should not have any impact on your candidacy from the eyes of an AdCom. Many people miss their GMAT testing due to legitimate reasons like the one you had.
