Psych GRE reporting after deadlines

Hi All- I am signed up to take the psych GRE's Nov. 10th. However, I have a few applications due on Dec. 1st & 5th (these schools require this test). I'm wondering if I my application will be considered incomplete since the official scores won't be reported until later in December (according to the ETS site) and I should save my money and forgo applying?

You should email those programs directly because there's no telling what they might do...and different programs might make different decisions about it.
Some might be understanding (as I think they should be...) because typically the Psych GRE doesn't hold too much weight in admissions decisions and they know it is only offered four times a year. Others might say that you should have planned ahead for this and might not accept an incomplete application. I doubt anyone here can tell you what those individual schools might do, so I'd just email the administrative support or the program admissions contact or something...good luck! I just took it last weekend and it wasn't bad.

I agree. Most schools I think would consider your application incomplete, but I wouldn't rule it out. ETS says it takes about 6 weeks to be sure the schools receive your scores, but a woman from Kaplan told me 3 weeks is what it takes.
