Not self-reporting my GRE subject test
Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2021 12:54 pm
Hi all,
I took the GRE subject test in September and did quite bad. Unfortunately, I selected four free universities to send my scores to when I registered, and my scores have been sent to them.
When applying to a school, the admissions form has a section where you typically self-report GRE scores so that they cross-reference them with the ones sent by the ETS. My question is: if the ETS reported my scores to a school for which the subject test is optional, can I just leave the self-reporting blank (i.e. pretend I didn't take the test)? My guess is that if I don't tell them I took it, they have no reason to scour their records and double check to see if I'm there...
