<p>I think i screwed up.
In november, I had ETS send in my GRE score to the schools that I am applying to before I submitted my applications (i did not complete the applications until mid to late december).</p>
<p>Today, I checked 3/7 of the schools I am applying to, and apparently, none of the 3 schools have yet to receive my GRE scores.</p>
<p>Should I be worried?
Do you think I should call up ETS and have my GRE scores resent?</p>
<p>this is compounded with none of my recommenders have submitted any LOR's yet :(
I am having one stressed out application season</p>
<p>Oh God. Call ETS ASAP and resend the scores. I'd even consider rushing them if the deadline is soon. They pulled this on me and made my life miserable. </p>
<p>I seriously wonder if they do this on purpose.</p>
<p>I had the exact same problem with ETS. Of the four score reports I requested when I took the test, there were problems with three. One example: I selected the Elliott School at GWU from the GRE test's drop-down menu, and it turned out that the Elliott School has canceled their own separate code and now routes everything through the main university code. ETS deactivated the code but never removed it from their system, so they couldn't send my score out. I had to argue with them because they wanted to charge me an extra fee to have my score sent out to the right code. I've heard from admissions offices at other schools that ETS is a mess.</p>
<p>I only found out about the problems because I'm neurotic and called all the schools I'm applying to after I took the test to make sure they got the scores.</p>

Same here. I have nothing good to say about ETS.</p>
<p>Plus how about the fact that you have to fax in orders for additional score reports with your credit card number. This is just asking for them to screw up or for somone to get ahold of your credit card number. They happened to not receive one of my faxes, forcing me to rush deliver them.</p>
<p>I had ETS send out my scores again (to the correct codes) by regular mail, and they didn't charge me or require a credit card. The decision seems to be up to the person who answers your phone call.</p>
<p>I agree with you - sending a credit card number to those people is tantamount to asking someone in Turkey to spend $18,000 on ski equipment on your card.</p>
<p>FYI, ETS has something called a Test Takers' Advocacy department, whose sole purpose in life seems to be fixing all the mistakes ETS causes for test takers in the first place. It took me about five calls to ETS before they told me of this department, but once I reached someone there he resolved my remaining problems in about a day and a half. If anyone is still going through ETS hell, I'd call them up again and demand to speak to someone in that area.</p>
<p>strange. that never happened to me when i did TOEFL. we should run for the abolition of ETS for charging us extremely expensive fees yet keep messing up.</p>
<p>I know something you can do. You can report your scores to the schools where you are applying. And you also tell them the problem that you have with ETS and ask them to call ETS directly using its toll free number to verify whether or not the scores you reported are indeed true. What the admissions people have to do is to tell the ETS representative your name, date of birth, and your scores. If they match your scores on record, the representative will say they match. Hope that'll help.</p>
<p>Blech. I ordered my GRE scores weeks ago, and I just found out at least one program does not have them yet. Words cannot describe my disdain for ETS.</p>
<p>I'm unwilling to think about the possibilities of ETS screwing things up. None of my schools are absolutely requiring GRE scores of me, so if they get them that's good, but if they don't I'm not going to have a heart attach over it. I definitely feel for those of you whose applications are in their hands.</p>
<p>The lucky thing is that I'm applying for MA programs, and the review committees usually look at PhD apps first, so for the programs that have both, I'll be OK (I hope). For one of them, though, MA is the highest degree.</p>
<p>When I do PhD apps, I'm ordering everything in September.</p>
<p>Edit: I just spoke to ETS twice in 10 minutes. Funny how you get a different answer each time. First time, the scores should be sent out "sometime this week" and they would be sent priority mail. Second time, they were sent out the 18th and are sent first class mail. Do these people not have computerized information???</p>
