SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concern regarding the timely submission of GRE scores for application deadlines on December 1st, specifically for programs at UW-Madison and the University of Texas. Participants confirm that while GRE scores may not arrive by the deadline, applicants should submit all other application materials and indicate that GRE scores are pending. Admissions committees are unlikely to dismiss applications solely due to delayed GRE scores from ETS, as this situation is beyond the applicant's control.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of GRE testing and score reporting processes
  • Familiarity with application deadlines for graduate programs
  • Knowledge of financial aid considerations in graduate admissions
  • Awareness of communication protocols with admissions offices
NEXT STEPS

  • Learn about the application requirements for UW-Madison and the University of Texas
  • Explore strategies for communicating with admissions offices regarding pending materials
  • Investigate financial aid application processes and deadlines for graduate programs
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students, particularly those applying to programs with strict deadlines, and individuals seeking financial aid for their studies.

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.)
