Sending out GRE Scores

Graduate School

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>So I took the GRE twice last semester - bombed it once and then did mediocre on it the second time around. Both scores are reported on my ETS account. I have now sent my GRE scores to a few of the grad schools that I'm applying to. However, when I login in to the application websites, they show only the scores of the old one that I bombed. This worries me a bit. So here is my question:</p>

<p>When you send your GRE scores from ETS, do they send only one specific test or every test you have taken?</p>

<p>I originally thought that ETS sent out all test scores of every exam you've taken. Therefore, I initially decided not to worry about the fact that some schools are only showing the bad score. But it is a bit unsettling so I thought I'd ask.</p>

<p>ETS sends all of your scores to the institutions you specify. Most “tracker” websites from these schools are unreliable and are updated infrequently. For me, Columbia listed that they received only one (out of two) GRE scores for the longest time. They only recently updated that they received all of my scores.</p>

<p>Also, when you sent your scores, did you make sure that every GRE exam was listed? When you send your scores, ETS shows you which scores are being sent before you confirm. If you took the GRE recently and didn’t wait until those scores were available online, your most recent score probably weren’t sent.</p>
