Administrative review - GMAT online test

Question

Hi everyone,

I took the gmat online on  December 29  and on January 3 I received an email from test security saying that my exam has been  flagged for administrative review . Everyday since then I have tried to contact the mba and gmat/gmac customer care withouth any news. 
I really need the score by the January 8 because I already have a deadline for my master's application.

What would you do in my situation? Any specific advice? Do you think they can make it for the 8th?

Thank you in advance

I have sent emails and tried to contact the customer care center, but more than 2 business days have gone and I didn't receive any answer from them.

Hi MargheCris,

I'm sorry to hear about the delay in receiving your Official results. While many GMATers who take the At-home version of the Exam receive their results in 2-3 days, a certain percentage have to wait for a lengthier amount of time (sometimes 2-3 weeks or longer). Compounding the issue in your case is that you took the Exam near the end of December - so there will likely be a 'backlog' of Essays to be graded and Exams to be reviewed (due to the New Years weekend) - meaning that some type of delay was likely inevitable.

If you're facing an application deadline on January 8th, you might consider reaching out to the School directly to explain your situation. You HAVE taken the GMAT - and your results DO exist (they're just not available yet). Assuming that you have your Unofficial Scores, you might be able to report those with your Application (and the School might be fine with you still applying - assuming that your Official Results will eventually become available in the next couple of weeks).

I had already sent the school an email asking for the possibility of a delayed result, but they told me that they want the offical score to be reported by the 8th. I also sent to the school the email grom GMAC reporting about the exam review to let them know about the delay. 
I guess I have to start looking for another school given the circumstances.
