A heads up regarding SAT scores

<p>I just wanted to suggest that people stay on top of checking whether your schools have actually RECEIVED your SAT scores. We had three schools that didn't receive score reports from the October 1 sitting. Apparently the College Board changed the format in which they send the scores, and some schools were behind in updating their systems to handle the change. </p>

<p>If it weren't for the fact that I am compulsive about checking and double checking, we wouldn't have known, especially since a few of D's schools don't provide a way to check online. After we figured out that there was a problem with 2 of the schools, I called the others to double check and that's how we discovered the 3rd.</p>

<p>Just thought this might be helpful to some, especially as we wait for some EA academic results. (I KNOW that academic acceptances don't mean much in the MT world, but at least it's some progress to look forward to as we wait for February and March artistic results!!)</p>

<p>Great notice, tracyvp…and a little “OCD-ness” during the application/audition year can save a lot of frustration later. And although academic acceptances are just one hurdle in the process, if a student has the scores to be awarded scholarships based on these, that is, in my d’s experience, where the larger awards come from. Many academic scholarship applications are closing very soon, if not already, so for your kid to be considered to be invited for these (Elon Fellows, Ball State’s Whitinger, CCM’s Cincinnatus, others I am sure) the academic file has to be complete. </p>

<p>Good luck, class of 2016. May your acceptances and scholarship awards be plentiful!</p>
