I'm looking to apply to the Rady School at UCSD which has an R2 deadline of 3/9 and an R3 deadline of 4/27.

I can get the application together in time for that but I'm not sure when I'd have to take the GMAT in order to have my score ready before deadline?

It takes two weeks for the school to receive the official score. What you can do and many schools suggest is to send them your score via fax/email(scan) right after you finish it. So do the application without the gmat, do the gmat, send them the unofficial score and most schools will start looking at your application immediately at that point. If they take a decision to accept you before receiving the official score then they'll wait for it and then confirm with you that you've been accepted.

Of course you should confirm all of the above with Rady School.

As ardit said, you should definitely call the school to confirm. Please let us know what they say too. Good luck!

Thanks to Eric and ardit!

I'm going to an Open House on Saturday so I'll ask then, I just didn't want to look like an idiot if it was one of those totally obvious questions.

J - that is what open houses are for! make sure you get all your questions answered, esp anything that might show up on your essays. that is one area (along with your interview) where you dont want to have the wrong info!

Just wanted to report that I went to the open house and all is well. I can take the GMAT up to a couple weeks after the admission deadline and still be considered for this round of apps. I just need to fax over the results on the day I take it.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
