<p>I am retaking the GRE on November 16th. Since it takes so long for schools to receive the official scores am I screwed for all the schools who have December deadlines? </p>
<p>Has anyone had success telling the school that the scores will be late and letting them look at your GRE account or something? I feel like a lot of people retake the GRE late and there is a lot of early December deadlines so this has to be a somewhat common issue. </p>
<p>My day will be ruined if I realize that I wasted $160 and countless hours studying for nothing...</p>
<p>Are you taking the paper-based test? If it’s computer based it only takes them ~15 days to send scores, I believe.</p>

<p>Right, but if I remember correctly, you are only allowed to send it to 4 recipients on the test date. So, the 4 will get it within 2 weeks but you will have to wait until the scores are reported to send it to remaining schools. </p>
<p>You will probably miss the deadline, but usually that isn’t a huge problem because it takes a week or two to gather all the materials and have it ready for the committee. Some schools do it as a continual process though so you might very well be late for certain schools. For example, I got my first interview a week and a half after the deadline, so clearly they gathered everything quickly.</p>
<p>I’m taking the computer based test. And i thought it was only 15 days but I keep seeing conflicting information. </p>
<p>I have 2 deadlines on December 1st and one December 5th that I’m worried about.</p>
<p>But if I put those 3 schools down after I take my test will it be a maximum of 15 days?</p>
<p>Both the December 1st schools said it’d be okay if the scores are a couple days late.</p>
<p>I took the test earlier this month, and ETS shows that my scores were reported eight days later (six business days).</p>
