nythe Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I recently took the computer-based GRE on September 30. Its been about 2 weeks now and when I view scores on my account, it still just shows "Absent or not available". Furthermore, none of the universities I selected during the test appear under the list of institutions where the scores should be sent to. Is it normal for ETS to take this long? I read on several other forums that people were getting their scores online within 10 days and their selected institutions were showing up on their account within 2-3 days.

powerlifterty16 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 same thing is ahppening here...took the test on the 5th..no scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awells27 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It all depends on who is grading your AW scores and how many people took the test during your time period. Some people's stuff simply gets graded quicker. ETS say to allow them 3 weeks I believe. An 8-10 day turnaround is on the quick side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nythe Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ok, good to know Then, I should probably be getting my results within this week. Although I already know my unofficial scores. Verbal: 156, Quant: 165. God, i'm so screwed . If I don't get 4.5 or higher on AWA, I'll probably retest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETS will send an e-mail (the same e-mail account you used to register for the test) when your scores have been calculated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that my scores aren't bad, but on average, the top universities admits get scores above the 90th percentile in both sections I know. I just had a professor say his department had no funding for next Fall. He then asked if I would be applying to Yale, and I could only mourn the fact that Yale might very well want 90th percentile in math as well.

nythe Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Aw, man that's too bad. What were your scores and which unis do you plan on applying to? Also, do you know if GRE scores matter more or less for Masters admissions versus PhD admissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nythe Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 What should i do? rele tensed as awells27 said, I believe ETS officially says that the scores should appear within 2-3 weeks of taking the test. So it should arrive this week hopefully. Even still, I sent them an email about this yesterday so I'm waiting for their official reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awells27 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Aw, man that's too bad. What were your scores and which unis do you plan on applying to? Also, do you know if GRE scores matter more or less for Masters admissions versus PhD admissions? Verbal 93rd/Math 78th/AW 99th. I looked at Yale's admissions stats for religion, and average scores for all categories were 95th or above. Even with better scores, their admissions rates are around 5%. Univ. of Virginia said close to perfect GRE scores are often rejected because the SOP is unacceptable. My top schools I am seeking are Hebrew Union, UPenn, RIce, Michigan, and UCLA (What I would not give for a safety school). With one other school, I am still awaiting a response from a POI on whether they are considering PHD students in their emphasis. My masters GRE scores, old format, were 1320 (very high verbal and dismal math), which was acceptable for Case Western but not enough for a fellowship. They matter more I believe in accordance with the higher the tier of school to which you apply and how much funding you seek.

hellohellohi Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 still no scores hv emailed them a couple of days back bt hvnt got a rply as yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nythe Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 still no scores hv emailed them a couple of days back bt hvnt got a rply as yet Yeah, same here. I've been checking everyday but nothing's updating. They haven't replied to my email as well. Maybe they have some website problem that's causing the scores not to show. People have said that their website has been buggy in the past. Either way, its been 17 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nythe Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ah. Finally! Got the scores. it should be on your account now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awells27 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 For religious studies? That's what the stats said for Duke and Princeton. Maybe I just assumed Yale would be the same. I'm not taking that evil test again; it could go worse next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antigone56 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 My scores showed up on my account very fast. I took the test last week on Friday (October 11th) and just checked today and the score is there. So...8 days. I believe I checked two days ago and the scores weren't there, so 7-8 days for me. My writing score was good, thank god, because although I usually do get a good writing score (and it's my strength, for sure), for some reason this time, I had doubts because I got what I thought was kind of a tricky topic and was writing some crazy stuff in response. I think my sentence structure and style were good, but the content of what I was saying was kinda crazy. Guess they're looking a bit more at the former.

powerlifterty16 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I TOOK THE test on the 5th or so and scores showed up the 17-18th..so about 12-13 days. i need to retake the test, so it worries me they take forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa44201 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) The ETS website states it takes approximately 10-15 days for the computer-based test. http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/faq/?viewfaq=faq6 Edited October 21, 2013 by Lisa44201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
