Thanks for your reply. I will contact them today since there is only one week left before 4.15 and I have another offer to reply.

Any one still waiting for UTSW? It's have been a while since it start to extend offers and rejections while I get neither. I assume they make a waiting list?

1. It's hard to say, however, there's a concordance table on the ETS website http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/gre_guide.pdf. I guess you can get an idea with the new score compared with the old ones. And then you can check the mean or range of the GRE scores at different programs. 2. It depends on your current level. Some one even needs no preparation for a decent score. 3. not sure, pros and cons, which is greater?

I am in the same situation here. However, the department auto-reply says "Please note that if you uploaded unofficial transcripts and submitted self-reported GRE and/or TOEFL scores on your application, the Admissions Committee will use these in their initial review process. Your unofficial transcripts and test scores will be validated when your official ones are received by the University." So I will just leave it like that. Maybe you could check with the department you are applying for. Good luck!

Finally finalized my 12 applications. One transcript and GRE score for some school are still on the way. Hopefully everything goes well!

Hi guys, I got a few problems with the GPA calculation requirement by WUSTL. They sent me a calculation sheet with the method. After I converted my scores based on 100-scale to 4-scale, some of them cannot be put into the categories provided by the sheet (e.g. should GPA like 2.5 be put into 2.3 or 2.7?) Maybe I should just ignore the sheet and calculate a weighted GPA? Another question is that I also have transcripts from Australian universities. They use different grading system there, something like Distinction, Credit, Pass etc. Although they also put a 100-scale based score on my transcript, it looks significantly lower. Because the pass score is 50 instead of 60. How am I going to deal with these differences ?
