How soon can ETS submit TOEFL and GRE scores to the school?

How long does it take ETS to send GRE and TOEFL reports to American schools?

ETS sends the GT score report to the graduate school of a university in the United States by ordinary mail through USPS. It takes about 18 days-14 days from payment by credit card to arrival at the designated address by ordinary mail; If you apply for a school on the east coast of the United States, it usually takes about 10 days, even in the peak season.

Then why are some people's TOEFL and GRE transcripts often 1-2 months before they go to school? In fact, the score has been sent out, and the ets automation system will handle the request to send the score and will not lose it; When USPS is sent to American universities, the probability of losing letters is also very low and can be ignored. In most cases, the school secretary is too busy to deal with it, and the transcripts are piled up in the office.

At present, in most cases, GT transcripts are sent to graduate schools. Even if you write the department/specialty code, you will eventually be sent to graduate school, throw in a lot of materials, and wait for the secretary to come to Kaifeng to register. There are also cases of being sent to departments, but they belong to a minority. According to Warald's understanding, many schools just designate an office to serve all majors in the school and register all GT transcripts received.

Many American universities have electronic distribution agreements with ETS, and the scores will arrive soon. But the problem is that even if the scores are distributed electronically, the school staff still need to do some manual processing, even if the mailing time is saved. A secretary once told Warald on the phone that she would download the score report every 2-3 days and then match it with the submission record of the online application system. Ha, it's Xiaomi's fault again ~ ~ It takes too long to manually process the GT report:)

How long does it take for a secretary to register with GT report? It depends on the number of applications received by the school and whether the secretary is dedicated. Some schools 1-2 weeks. In addition, some school secretaries did not update the online application status system even if they received the report card and added it to the application file, so they brushed the status every day and still found that the score was not delivered.

In the past, the report card was not sent to the school, and everyone wrote to Xiao Mi saying: Damn ETS didn't send it to you in time. But objectively speaking, it is probably a secret problem, which has nothing to do with ETS. But blame ETS and Xiaomi for sympathizing with you. If you blame Xiaoxi, won't you go to ETS to gain sympathy and admission?

With the extensive use of online application system, there are fewer and fewer paper materials to be sorted out. The future trend is that everything will be done online, and GT delivery will be less and less a problem.

Warald predicts that ets will be connected with the three online application systems of applyyourself, embark and applyweb in the future, and the scores of ETS will be automatically updated in your application account. This is actually easy to achieve technically, depending on when these institutions and American universities can reach a cooperation agreement.

You know, you only need to upload scanned documents before entering school and submit official documents after entering school, which has gradually become a trend after 20 10. How long does it take for the secretary to scan thousands of application packages, each containing many pages of documents? Now it is much more convenient for the applicant to scan and upload it himself. Parallel processing, multiprocessor, not bad.
