Can GRE scores make it in time for Dec. 1st deadlines?

[Kites]

A quick question for everyone.

Today I took the Physics GRE and while I think it went pretty well I am worried now that I might have a problem. Dec. 1st deadlines.

A lot of programs like UW-Madison and U of Texas have this deadline for all application materials. Can my GRE scores make it in time to these places? I am worried that I won't be quick enough for financial aid consideration. Without fin. aid I can't go to school.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Send in the parts of the application you are responsible for. Add a note in a relevant section that GRE scores are pending and will be sent in by ETS when they are done grading the tests.

The schools will probably put your application aside until the GRE score comes in, but I doubt that they would refuse to consider you because ETS can't get the scores in by that deadline. That is not your fault. (Unless they expected you to take the October test, but I doubt this is the case.)

I understand your concern regarding the Dec. 1st deadlines for graduate school applications. While I cannot provide a definitive answer, I can offer some information that may help alleviate your worries.

Firstly, it is important to note that the delivery of GRE scores is largely dependent on the testing center and the processing time of the institution receiving the scores. Typically, the official score report is available within 10-15 days after the test date, but this can vary.

Additionally, it is important to check with each individual program or institution to see if they have any specific requirements or deadlines for GRE scores. Some may allow for a grace period or accept scores after the deadline, while others may require scores to be received by the deadline.

In terms of financial aid consideration, it is best to contact the financial aid office at the specific institutions you are applying to and inquire about their policies and deadlines for GRE scores. They may be able to provide more specific information and guidance.

Overall, my advice would be to send your scores as soon as they become available and to communicate with the institutions about any potential concerns or delays. It is also important to remember that GRE scores are just one aspect of the application and may not be the sole determining factor for admission or financial aid consideration.

I wish you the best of luck in your graduate school applications.
