Are gre scores sent electronically or by mail

According to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the organization that administers the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), scores are typically sent electronically to the institutions you designate as score recipients.

Here's how it usually works:

1. You take the GRE test and select the institutions you want to send your scores to.
2. Your scores are reported to the institutions you selected, and they are typically sent electronically within 10-15 business days after your test date.
3. You can also choose to have your scores sent to additional institutions at a later time, as long as you have not exceeded the maximum number of score recipients allowed (usually 4-5 institutions, depending on the test date).

However, there are some exceptions:

• If you take the test at a test center that does not have electronic score reporting capabilities, your scores may be sent by mail.
• If you request a score report to be sent to an institution that does not accept electronic scores, it will be sent by mail.
• In rare cases, there may be technical issues that prevent electronic score reporting, in which case scores may be sent by mail.

It's always a good idea to check with the institutions you're applying to and confirm their score receipt policies to ensure that your scores are received in a timely and secure manner.
