Taking the GRE after a deadline?

[NObama]

I'm working in Mali right now on an internship. There appears to be no times to take the GRE there so I am flying out to Spain as soon as I am able to take the test. The date I secured was 1/23.

Which is a major issue, as some of the deadlines are past at this point. Now, my question is, as I am physically unable to take the test until this date, would many of the schools accept a delayed test score (unofficial until verified).

I've emailed some of the schools in question but it appears they've packed up for the holidays. Now, I am stupid for taking this internship but the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Would many of the schools accept a delayed score, if the rest of my application is upto date and ready to submit (inc recommendations, etc).

I'm applying for IR degrees..

Some schools accept lateish scores but 1/23 seems to be quite late considering decision timelines. You should wait for the schools to reply on this one imho or try to get to another country earlier.

Avoid stressing yourself out and just apply next year. Some schools have a strict rule when it comes to deadlines and you don't want to waste the 50-100$ app. fee and all your efforts in an application that can be possibly rejected because it is incomplete.

I would definitely not like to apply again next year as essentially I have devoted the past 18 months for my applications. I perhaps should not have taken this internship but it added further value to my application now. Hopefully some of the schools are a bit more lenient. They really ought to be considering I submitted the application on time, with everything else included. Still pretty worried.

Thanks. Still waiting on the schools to get back in touch. If they dont by tomorrow, I'm screwed I feel!
