  1. *face palm @ my own ignorance* Thanks for clarifying!!
  2. Apologies, I haven't read through this entire topic. But is my understanding correct that the general GRE is optional? Are you completely shooting yourself in the foot if you apply without your GRE scores (taking the exam late). Thanks!
  3. Hi all, If you could address either of these questions individually or both, I would really appreciate any help!! QUESTION 1 I've been studying for the GRE, but studying is taking longer than expected, and I have an amazingly chaotic fall. I'm applying to programs that have a Dec 2 deadline (in biology/genetics/genomics), and I'm wondering what's the latest I can take the general GRE. On the website, it says to expect 10-12 days for score reports (I'm assuming business days). Does that mean I can take the test as late as the third weekend of November (such as the 15th)? And if I wanted to give myself a cushion of 21 days (to retake if I needed), the second to last weekend of October (say October 26)? Or are my calculations way off? Likewise, are grad schools slightly flexible on when they can accept scores? QUESTION 2 On a slightly related note: I received accommodations in college (time and a half on exams due to dyslexia), and originally I didn't realize how complicated it would be to get accommodations on the GRE. Now, I'm regretting the choice of not looking into the paperwork sooner...but it takes at least 6 weeks to have accommodations approved for the GRE, and that would be past my grad schools' deadlines. Would grad schools possibly accept later scores, if I were waiting on approval for accommodations? How much of an issue is timing on the general GRE–assuming I am well studied on the material–since my accommodation would be time and a half? Thanks for any clarifying help!
