Can I Submit GRE Score After Application Deadline

Raghuram Sukumar —  July 21, 2010 — 11 Comments

Question from Sabari

Can I submit my GRE score after application deadline?

Reporting GRE Score after Deadline

Answer to your question is yes and no depending on your application status.

  • If you have already submitted your application and paid application fees, then universities will accept GRE Scores submitted after application deadline.
  • If you haven’t submitted your application for admission, most likely your GRE Scores will not be accepted.
  • Some universities will accept application after deadlines (you may have to pay additional fees). Check with the university before you plan to move forward with your application process.

You have to consider how long it will take ETS to forward your Additional GRE Score report after you place the request. ETS would taker 2 to 3 weeks to send your GRE Score report to universities. What if university have made decision on admission by the time your scores will reach them?

Make sure you call/email graduate admission office before applying for admission, if you plan to submit GRE Score after application deadline.
