(Dec. 15) However, UW and NW both show that they have not received my GRE scores and I'm not sure what to do. Also, video for NW??? That field cancelled out after I selected my program...

Making me nervous for other schools, especially due to the random "missing" GRE Scores. Still holding out for Georgetown as that's my top choice.

Hi guys! I do think the video is completely optional for chemistry majors. I didn't do it and got the same warning message but I was accepted on Saturday!

Dibenzofulvene Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Also, I wasn't able to complete the video in the regular application either. I wrote a nice script for it and tried it multiple times with IE, Chrome, and Firefox and it just kept lagging and not recording. I was in the lab on my University's wifi and I have a fast computer, so I don't know what went wrong.
