If I use NYU as an example, this is what they say about sending in IELTS scores:
"
How do I submit my results to NYU?
For the TOEFL iBT, use NYU’s code 2562.
For the IELTS Academic, search for “New York University” and release results to Undergraduate Admissions as opposed to one of our school or colleges. Similarly, for the PTE Academic, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency, select “New York University” as opposed to one of our specific NYU schools or colleges. Searching for “NYU” will not return any results; you must search using our official name.
"
Where do they mean to search for “New York University” (beginning of the second paragraph)? Furthermore, what do they mean by “release results to UA”? Can I just email the IELTS scores?
