GRE and CSDCAS

[koalalover1]

Okay, sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I have been hearing both sides of this. So I have heard that if you took a GRE over the summer, before the CSDCAS portal opens, your GRE score did not send to the school. Is this true? I thought that it was not true and your scores still send, because on my ETS GRE portal it says my scores were requested to be sent, but I have been hearing the opposite.

My problem is I am horrible at standardized tests. I totally bombed it my first try (I took it way earlier than I should have), but still sent scores in (stupid, but I was not expecting to take it three times and was nervous I would do worse on the writing and quant). My second GRE was before September 17 (it was August 26th), and I sent my score to four schools because I was happy with two of my scores, but not the third (again). I was not sure if I wanted to retake it, but for the sake of my verbal score I ended up deciding to.  I took the GRE again on September 26th and ended up doing better, but my quant score went down. 

I am just curious if the schools are going to get my first set of scores or not. I did Score Select, but on my ETS GRE portal it says all three of my scores were received by schools. Also sorry if this post is confusing.... I just really want to know and I've been trying to find a definite answer.

What does it say on csdcas? That's where it matters I think. Because then once you submit your app and are verified on csdcas only then is the app sent to the school with the score essay etc. That's my understanding of using csdcas for two years. It needs to say rcvd there if you sent it specifically to the csdcas code.

Technically CSDCAS says they they don't accept anything before the opening date, BUT mine were delivered shortly before it opened, so I called them to double check, and they were able to find the information and attach it to my account. It will show on your account if they have it.

Thanks so much for the help! I noticed on my ETS account where you check your GRE score, it says my scores were received, but I cannot find anywhere on CSDCAS that my scores were received. That's why I am really confused.... especially because I did Scre Select, so all of my scores shouldn't have even sent.

Maybe I will try and call CSDCAS just in case! I may just be missing out on where I am suppose to be looking but all I could do on CSDCAS was enter my scores myself. I made sure to look up my GRE codes before the test, and I sent them all directly to the CSDCAS code, not the universities, so I feel like it should be showing up somewhere on CSDCAS.

I also have to add my personal essays on CSDCAS because I have to personalize a few of them yet to accommodate the needs of the school, and I am waiting for my LORs to be submitted, so maybe it's because I am not finished with my application yet?

Mine showed up before I finished it and submitted.
