University of Washington - GRE Scores

Hello!
I decided a few days ago to apply to the University of Washington for a Pure Math PhD. The deadline is January 1st, and since I already have my statement(s) and the referees have letters for me ready, those won't be a problem. However, they require official GRE scores, which I did not send yet and which won't arrive before January 1st since the ETS office is closed until after the New Year.
So, my question is... what happens if my official GRE scores arrive after the application deadline? Will the scores definitely be left out of my application when my application is considered, or will they be included as long as the scores arrive before the admission committee reviews application? Will my application even be considered if the official GRE score is missing?
I don't want to waste the $85 it costs to apply, and the $27 it costs to send my scores if my application won't end up being considered at all :P So any advice or information would be really helpful! Thanks!

Hey - I'm applying this cycle too and had the same question. I asked the department and I quote. "For now, you may simply self-report scores. Yes, if admitted we would want the official scores as well." Hope that helps!
