<p>So, I'm actually applying ED to cal poly san luis obispo. application deadline Oct 31.</p>

<p>I havn't sent in my scores yet, even though I took it in June.</p>

<p>Do they have to be in by the time of the application deadline (4 days?)</p>

<p>So, should I spend the extra $27 and rush ship it tomorrow? Or should I do the regular shipping when I send it in tomorrow and everything will be good, and they don't need it by the actually application deadline.</p>

<p>im confused..</p>

<p>Just making sure. Please respond if you know, thanks!</p>

<p>Contact collegeboard.com, and send the scores. Do it tonight. They don’t need to be sent “rushed” since it’s all electronic. it’s a push of a button. They don’t go with your application anyway.</p>

<p>okay, thanks. it said it would take 1-2 weeks electronically tho, which didnt make sense…</p>

<p>while rushed would make it 1-2 days…</p>

<p>i was confused, but thanks!! will do.</p>

<p>Pay the “rush” fee. If the College board says it takes two weeks to process, you don’t want to be left in the dust because YOU didn’t adhere to a deadline (btw…check all your other schools…my guess is that deadline for those SAT scores to Cal Poly were on the website before this week…don’t miss any MORE deadlines).</p>

<p>Although I’m not the ad com, schools generally don’t need the scores right away. For example, they will take scores from Oct ACT, and those don’t get reported/sent until mid-Nov. MIT, in fact, will take Nov SAT which won’t be out until late Nov (with 11/1 deadline). Some schools, that take electronic reports, take longer to process rush reports which are on paper. They, in fact, say they’ll take longer with paper.</p>

<p>Just call the school and ask them.</p>

<p>Yes, I’d suggest calling the school. We had a similar question about Oct. scores & admissions dept. was helpful.</p>

<p>Send your paperwork FedEx overnight. Worth the peace of mind.</p>

<p>Definitely call the school. Some schools tell students NOT to rush SAT scores, because it messes with the way the scores are handled at the school.</p>
