Take GRE only a few days before application deadline?

[Tim126]

My GRE was taken more than 5 years ago. I plan to take computer-based GRE again on Nov 30th in U.S., but there are some schools with application deadlines on Dec 2 and Dec 1 (for example, statistics departments and engineering and science schools of U of Wisconsin Madison, Rutgers, Harvard ). I was wondering if schools in general might be willing to accept official GRE scores sent from ETS about two weeks later than their deadlines?

 

I heard that I might know my scores of Verbal and Quantitative sections right after I finished taking computer-based GRE, so will self reporting the scores of these two sections on online application systems be sufficient for meeting the deadlines?

This depends on the school. I recommend you email the admissions offices of each school/program and ask.

Some schools have hard set deadlines for ALL supporting documents while others state supporting documents can arrive in a "reasonable" time period after the deadline.
