Can I send sat score reports before I apply to a university?

If I do, how will they match my score report to my application?
Thanks

We did for at least one school, and it seemed to work fine.

I am assuming that the university admissions folks expect a flood of SATs to show up just before the associated applications, and just hold on to them until the applications follow. I don’t think that matching them up is easier or harder regardless of which (application or SAT score) shows up first.

Did you do this to take advantage of the free reports that the College Board allows? If not, I don’t see any advantage to doing this. Some schools allow score choice, some schools do not require you to submit all SAT’s. If paying the fees for the reports are not a concern, why not wait until you receive the results? That way you can submit the optimal set of scores that the school allows. The schools are not going to give you “bonus” points for submitting scores early.

Yes you can send them.

They have systems in place to match the scores with the applications. Don’t worry about that!
