Once the electronic scores are received, they will upload to your application automatically as long as the information received from ETS matches the information on your application.
If you have sent your official scores to institution code 4836, they will be reviewed with your application. However, they may not post to your application until you are offered admission. As long as you have self-reported the scores in your application this is not a problem and will not affect the application review.
Use code 4836 to send your scores to UC San Diego.
The UC San Diego institution code, 4836, will suffice. Once received, the scores upload to your application(s) for departments to access. There is no need to provide the department code(s) for ETS.
Official scores are your most recent scores. Many, but not all graduate departments use your best scores when evaluating your application.
This depends on the department that you are applying to. Some departments will alIow applicants to submit the application without test scores, but keep in mind that the application may not be reviewed until they are received.
For departments that require scores, the application cannot be submitted unless the self-reported scores fields are completed. You will need to enter the date you will take/took your test(s) and enter zeroes in the score and registration fields.
