I found it interesting that soon after the SAT lost their position as the market leader to the ACT for the first time, they decided to redesign the SAT to make it much more like the ACT.
I thought the College Board didn’t like losing market share to ACT but this big mess with sending score reports makes me wonder. I can hardly think of a better way to have a test like the ACT and encourage people to use the ACT instead of the SAT.
At least this should stop people from criticizing the College Board for acting like a profit maximizing corporation in all ways. Maybe some in the College Board decided that the ACT is still better and want to encourage people to choose the ACT over the SAT in the future?? XP
Nope, didn’t rush. But I sent the scores on October 16 and thats more than 2 weeks ago so I figured CB would have them in by now. Probably should’ve rushed.
No I didn’t…checked on 28th, said it had been sent, but on 29th said pending again and CB said Rush wouldn’t help by that point. When I contacted the colleges, they hadn’t received any scores, so it obviously hadn’t been sent.
Alright I guess I’m going to send my common app anyway… hope they did send but for some reason the status hasn’t changed. If UMich doesn’t get my scores then they won’t flat out reject me right? I’ll just get moved back to Regular Decision?
^does your Mich site say they are still needed? i wonder how many are complete, but show pending on sat site? what a mess they have made for themselves and some students! Kids who have had them set to send for weeks should be sent before they promise any more rush…Weeks is plenty of time!
Yeah your application will be moved to the RD pile. Send out your common app anyways and hopefully it will get sorted out! As long you arent applying preferred admission it should be ok, as your essays will fit for RD.
So I ordered score reports and they were sent on October 28th (according to the website, not sure how reliable that is), but I sent all three of my subject test scores and it’s only showing that two were sent.
@potterismylife - Haha exactly same as yours, except mine shows sent on both 28th and 30th (have no idea why) and only 3/4 scores are sent. Oh why you do this to us CB… Its pretty demotivating to work so hard on your essays/app and have everything mess up so badly.
I would expect the universities to understand, but then again I’m not from the states so I don’t really understand the system there.
Yeah I had the same thing, they had my Bio M subject test pending, then it ended up being excluded. I’d forgive them maybe if they would just send the UMich scores lol
@Sherlockian I don’t think they send scores on the weekend. It might be though that the database that provides the score sending information isn’t synced with whats going on. Definitely possible from the stories on here from people that rushed scores.
