GRE wrong middle name


ConfusedStudent

Recommended Posts

Hi :) 

while creating my GRE account, I accidentally added a middle initial, even though I don't have one. I contacted the support, and the representative told me that neither he can change the initial, nor can I create  another account. In short, that nothing can be done to fix the situation. Is this actually true? Have any of you been in a situation like this? I'm now afraid that the universities won't be able to match my scores with the application.

I don't know if it's true but even though I entered my middle name correctly, it still displayed incorrectly on some reports and many schools were not able to automatically match my score with the application. However, the scores were all eventually matched without any action from me (a human reviews them too). But because automatic match didn't happen, this means that some of the online application status displays didn't update to say "Scores received". When I contacted the schools about this, they explained that a human matched the scores and when this happens, they can't manually change the auto status update thing. Weird.

I don't know what the best advice for you is. If you haven't registered for any tests yet, I would just create a new account anyways.
