NUTS! I am sorry. I can suggest a solution.
Here’s the thing. If you know your score, you can put it into the application. You technically do not have to send your score by the deadline Or you may already have shared it or sent it into the program. All you need to do is have the score before your application deadline and some people have taken the test the day before…
Some programs only verify the scores after they admit you or before they admit to you in December. The reason is that most people don’t put in fake scores and while the verification piece is important, they don’t need to verify everybody only to reject most people for other reasons.
So you may have more time if your score stays…
It does get a lot trickier if your score gets canceled. In that case you would have to retake it and have a date of the test after the application deadline but I feel the school may be receptive to that situation. They’ve been pretty understanding of situations outside of applicant control. It’s a different story when you’re late or disorganized or something else.
I can see for example if you do here in two or three weeks that your score is kaput. That will suck but you can hopefully quickly retake the test and maybe even get a better score and email the school an explanation at that time providing your old score and your new score and if the new score is higher, I would tell them to use your old, lower score to be fair.
Another option is to take the test as soon as possible. Not ideal but it will show you being proactive and planning for a Plan B.
A third option would be to find a bunch of people applying to the same school in the same situation and all of you sending joint emails.
Just trying to come up with a solution 😢😢😢
