<p>That blog is from year 2005, maybe there was not electronic score reporting back then. You should always try to find the latest and greatest information, specifically look at the link below.</p>
<p>[MIT</a> Admissions: Standardized Test Requirements](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/standardized_test_requirements/index.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/standardized_test_requirements/index.shtml)</p>
<p>Excerpt from the link above:</p>
<p>Please allow plenty of time for your scores to arrive at MIT. It takes at least 4 to 6 weeks for us to receive SAT scores. We recommend that you list MIT as a school to receive your scores when you take the test. If you take the January test, you must list MIT as a school to receive your scores or we will not receive them in time for our review.</p>
<p>This, I believe, means that you need to assign MIT in the list of school for free reports before the score comes out. If you do, MIT will get the score almost the minute the score comes out and should be on time for consideration.</p>
