84 GMAT Scores Thrown Out

These 84 students may see law school as a "back door" to their prospective schools' business programs (or a way around the probblem altogether), unless they report this sanction (which 99/100 applications will require them to) to the law schools. The 12 students who were barred from taking the exam are obviously required to report the sanction, and lest the other 72 get any funny iseas, having to retake the exam in order to get a "qualifying score, or having a score "involuntarily cancelled" by the GMAC DOES, in fact, COUNT as a form of "academic discipline" or association discipline, and should, thus, be reported by the applicant(s) - with full disclosure.

Trust me, the law and medical schools will have those 84 names on lists, as well. And they are screening for incidents like this one. For example, law applications, for example, will ask if prospective students have ever been disciplined by any school, while some others ask about discipline for any alleged "acts of theft or dishonesty" or by professional associations to which an applicant may be a "member".

Okay, while students aren't "members" to the LSAC, ABA, GMAC or any other council, students are using the service to apply to professional schools. Err on the side of disclosure folks...do let this incident out of the box or risk complete ruin.

I say this as one of the honest MBA and law applicants that you cheated in 2004 and 2005.
