School Codes for GRE

[Sky]

I have the GRE coming up this Saturday. Since I don't see this information posted anywhere on ETS's site, I was wondering, do you have to select the schools that you want to submit your GRE to at the time you take the GRE? I am still indecisive about what schools to apply to (or even which fields), and I think how well I do on the GRE will be a big factor in this, so I haven't researched any school codes. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sky,

You may select schools to send your scores to. You do not have to. While selecting a school is faster and strongly recommended if you are in a rush in your situation it is not necessary. Assuming you do well it certainly will not hurt you to select a few schools, but again, it is not necessary.

Good luck on Saturday!

It'll cost you extra to send after the exam. When you send scores at the exam place, I think it's free to send scores to three schools. If you do well, you might as well have some school codes on hand.

Your test fee entitles you to request that scores be sent to as many as four graduate institutions or fellowship sponsors

That's about $80 or so you could save.

Awesome. I had no idea that they gave you 4 "free" ones. Thanks for the info!
