Columbia GRE score submission: Do I *really* have to report *all* my scores??


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm applying for a political science PhD. I took the GRE multiple times, and my last score was quite a bit better than my first. I sent my official score reports for this second test administration right away. However, one school (to which I already submitted my good scores) says "you must upload a scanned copy of your score report" (see screenshot below). It also asks you to "please enter the scores from each exam separately."

I don't really want to upload my PDF score report, nor do I really want to enter all my scores. Not only would I reveal my previous (worse) score, but I'd also reveal the other schools I'm applying to. But I also want to follow the rules and not be rejected outright.

In addition, ETS has already said that the report date for my most recent test was 10/22, suggesting that the school already received my scores. Does anyone have advice here? I don't want to show my worse results and reveal where else I am applying. But cropping the score report to just show my most recent score feels a bit shady.

Alternatively...if I must submit all my scores, does anyone think it will negatively impact my application?
