reporting GRE scores

So, I had my GRE scores (from 2006) sent to Boston University, who then sent them to SOPHAS (does this system make ANY sense?). SOPHAS now has them.

I don't understand how so many schools, usually but not only state schools, say that you need to have your GRE scores reported directly to them, when they get pretty much everything else from SOPHAS like LORs, transcripts, resume, PS... Does that only apply to people who haven't yet taken the exam, perhaps?

And as you know, it's not cheap to have the scores sent!

I asked SOPHAS about this and they said that getting the scores through them should be sufficient, but that I should ask the schools to confirm. (Come on now; I can't be the first person to ask this question. There HAS to be an answer.)

Has anyone by chance already asked the/some schools about this and know for sure? Because I'd hate to bug the admission people any more, and it seems like there should be a simple answer.

Thanks in advance.

Hah, okay.

So I guess I don't have to order anymore. That's a relief. Thank you!

I sent mine to all the other schools I applied to just in case. Better safe than sorry, right?

One other thing--what I am doing is sending my scores to the school that has the earliest deadline. That way, that school doesn't have to wait for another school to send the scores to SOPHAS.

I know, even though many people are confident that you don't have to send them anywhere else once SOPHAS has them, I still get freaked out by those schools that say 'send everything through SOPHAS, oh, but send your GRE scores directly to ####'

Hello,

I have a few questions about reporting GRE scores. I'm sure the answer is somewhere on the SOPHAS website/on SDN, but I just want to get a general consensus.

I submitted my SOPHAS application on 11/7, but it has yet to be processed.

I took the GRE and designated my four schools to send scores to. I just recently took the exam, so I haven't received my online score report back from ETS (they said it will take a few weeks or less).

How do I send my scores to SOPHAS (since there was no place to do it on the GRE)? I know on my SOPHAS webpage I can self-report my scores, but is there any way besides that to have SOPHAS receive my scores? Can someone clarify how the schools I designated scores for will be able to send my scores to SOPHAS?

Thank you!
