[rohit.ahuja22]

Hey im rohit...im planning to write gre xam again in 1st week of dec 2013. Can anyone suggest me whether it would be a good time to write the xam or should i drop the idea of applying for fall 2014. In my 1st attempt i got a score of 300 (154 quant and 146 verbal). Please help me out in suggesting the way ahead as i wanna apply for fall 2014...

 

Thanks and regards

Well, I took the GRE on 10/19 and the scores were finalized and submitted to my schools by 10/30...so approximately 11 days. If you don't have any deadlines in the first part of December then you might still be fine. However, I have 2 apps due 12/1 and 3 due 12/15 so an early December test date wouldn't have worked for me. I do know a lot of schools whose deadlines are in January. You'd probably be fine for those types of deadlines. It just depends on where you're applying.

i advise you to ask those universities whether they will accept late reports or not. Most of them will allow you to complete the application in a week or 2 after the deadline. Good Luck!

Depends on when the applications are due. If your apps need to be completed by early-mid December, I would say its a bad idea to wait that long. If the apps are due in early January, you're probably okay.
