How many universities can I send my GRE scores to at no extra cost?

As part of your standard GRE registration, you can select up to four universities to receive your official scores. If you want to send your scores to more than four recipients, you will need to arrange this separately through your own ETS GRE account after your test.

When you register for the GRE, you are not limited to just one or two universities for your score reports. You can select up to four institutions to receive your scores as part of your standard registration.

GRE Score Sending Rules

Up to four universitiesIncluded in standard registration
More than four universitiesBook additional score sends via your ETS account

Other Test Centre Rules Worth Knowing

Alongside score sending, remember that only a valid original Indian Passport is accepted as ID at Indian test centres, personal calculators are not allowed since a digital one is built into the Quantitative Reasoning section, and the shorter GRE format runs 1 hour 58 minutes with no scheduled breaks.

My Advice

Decide on your four target universities before test day so you are not making a rushed decision right after finishing your exam. If you already know you will apply to more than four schools, budget for the additional score-sending fee in advance.
