Thanks, i did mail adcom and asked them the same query.
Since I will e applying via GRE , we cannot be sure of the same level of efficinecy by ETS.
Alas, ETS is infaously and bluntly slow.
Not to mention, holiday season further exacerbates everything.

I read on the McCombs website the following :
All applicants are required to take the GMAT or GRE. You must self-report your test scores in your application as well as have official score reports sent directly to UT Austin by the testing agency. GMAT and GRE test scores expire five years after the test date. The date that your official scores are sent to UT Austin by the testing agency should be no later than the application round deadline, as it can take up to 3-4 weeks for scores to be processed. After application submission, you will be able to monitor the status of your test scores.
Does that mean if I have to apply by 5th Jan ,am I too late in sending my GRE/GMAT because it might take 3-4 weeks for GRE ETS to process the request?
Should I not apply to any school if I have not reported my schools ?
Generally it does not take that long for the processing of official score. My GMAT score was received and processed by the school within a few days time. Also, it is a requirement at McCombs. At most other schools, the official score can be sent after you receive an admit.
