1. Exact score on the new scale
2. 10-15 days, I think.
3. Not applicable.

I just got my first admittance: University of Illinois UC. I'm very surprised that any decisions were made this early, but I'm very happy to know that I've been accepted by at least one school!
Nice! yeah, like you I'm just happy to know I'm going somewhere next year.
-
In the US, it's either 12AM or 1AM. then convert that time in your time zone.
-
Nice! that is very early. My last LOR writer is apparently writing a masterpiece so I'm not even quite done with applications.
I'm looking forward to hearing about visitation weekends... I think it'll be very important to me to visit and talk to POI in person.
Mine too! UF was my only school with complete letters, and luckily they responded early.
Congrats! That's the earliest one can think of. Would you mind sharing your stats (GPA. GRE, publications, research experience, LOR from whom) ?
I'm an international student.
GPA: 3.75
GRE Q160/V157/W4
GRE Subject Test: 840
No publications yet, I've been teaching chem lab in my school, research experience in a biochem lab.

I'm officially starting the wait for University of Chicago. Only 1 letter left for the two other schools I'm applying to!
-
Got in to two schools last year. The first one I was waitlisted, then a student backed out so I took his place. After much preparation and (almost) applying for a visa, that student came back so I was rejected. The second one, I was accepted. 2 weeks before my flight and I was all packed and ready to go, when the admissions coordinator told me that I am not qualified for that degree.
I told almost everyone that I am leaving, and imagine the explaining I had to do when they saw me, still in the country, jobless.I hope the "confuse me with someone else nightmare scenario" doesn't happen to me. ugh.

First admit of the season! (I checked and this seems legit, haha) University of Florida, TA, $22,000. I submitted my application on December 1 and the LORs were just completed yesterday. They really do what they say in the website: "Decisions are made as rapidly as possible."

I should add:
Inorganic Chemistry
Miessler and Tarr (never really liked Housecroft)
Analytical Chemistry
Skoog

Maybe you should include a gift. It's christmas anyway!

ETS releases them very early to tempt you into wasting your 12$. But the scores will not appear in the mygre page until the date indicated in nechalo's post.
btw, I still haven't received either my general or subject scores in the mail!
-
No, they won't wait for the subject scores. The score report that they will receive only has the general scores since the subject scores is not yet available. If you want them to receive the subject scores too, you should request additional score reports. (Unless you have already put the same schools when you registered for the subject test)

Normally I avoid anything College Humor related, but this made me laugh. Hope this brings some levity to this thread!
This is actually depressing to me, I don't know why.
-
Some schools keep your score reports while some don't. It's best to confirm this with them.
-
No, there is a problem. It means your score is sent on that "report date" but the code is not valid or inactive.
-
So the GRE subject test results for the October 15 test is up in the MyGRE page. I'm pretty sure before the page is overhauled there is a column there indicating how many correct and incorrect answers you had in the test. Does anyone here know how to get the subject test raw score? Or is it only included in the score report in the mail? I am an international student and I think it will take 1 and a half months for the score report to arrive here.
-
I think so. I have an Academia.edu profile where one gets notified when someone views it. When I started sending e-mails to prospective POIs last month I received a couple of views from the USA. (I'm an international student, and my Academia.edu profile is basically blank, LOL.)

Hey Contretemps,
I was having the same problem. The trick is that the GRE Registration Number is a different one than is listed online on your account page. You are given a new number when you receive the score report in the mail, and you use this number to sign onto the diagnostic thread. So you will have to wait until it arrives in the mail. Hope that helps!
So that's why! Thanks.

The site is still not working for me! I took the GRE last September 9, 2011 and the scores are already up in my MyGRE page since November. I am from Asia though and of course the official score report still hasn't arrived in the mail. I've also put 9(Sep) and 11 in the test date. What am I doing wrong?
-
If it's not really required or even recommended then don't send it. In my case, I was just thinking of the extra $23 I would spend for each school so I sent them all to the 4 schools (for free) I'm applying to even if they are not really excellent scores.
-
We can't really give you the "procedure" because the corresponding grades vary depending on your country and your school.
-
Or, you can use this service. http://www.wes.org/students/igpacalc.asp It is not official and is less expensive ($5, I think)
-
you can submit your grades to www.wes.org and they will convert your GPA to the 4.0 scale. Plus, it's official. but it is slightly expensive.
Honestly, most schools do not require the CGPA because it can be deceiving (you can have very high or very low non-major grades). I am an international student and I just submitted my grade as is. If they require a CGPA, I just submit a score conversion scale from my universty so that the admissions committee can estimate my CGPA.

Can you bring your school codes in with you or do you have to use their database (or memory)?
I brought the school codes with me on a piece of paper. The administrator let me write the codes on a scratch paper which he gave me after the exam.
Fellowships?

I also encountered this. What I did was I added the living expenses and tuition fees in the website they provided. I don't know if that's correct though.
