<p>'Don't send your SAT/ACT scores' until you call the schools you're applying to.</p>
<p>I checked with Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Hamilton University today and both UPenn and Hamilton don't require your scores to be sent directly from the testing center -- they consider scores listed on your transcript as official.</p>
<p>So call all of the schools on your list, you could save a LOT of money!</p>
<p>Hey, that's good to know. Awesome. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Don't count on it. It's an invasion of privacy to list your scores on your transcripts, so most schools don't list them (at least in public schools). If you are worried that your scores won't be high enough, and you don't list any schools in your test application, it's OK, but it will cost you to send them later. Anyway, ask at your high school what their policy is.</p>
<p>Good point J'adoube. Our school system does not include test scores on transcripts.</p>
<p>Thanks, J'adoube. My school puts scores right onto transcripts so I didn't even consider otherwise.</p>
<p>So, to all you CCers -- Check with your HIGH SCHOOL and the COLLEGES you're applying to. THEN decide whether or not to send the scores directly from the testing service.</p>
<p>My school doesn't put scores on the transcripts. They sent copies of my score report, but I'm pretty sure colleges don't accept those. Oh well, I already paid anyway ($85! Crazy...)</p>
<p>I'm calling the remainder of the colleges on my list tomorrow, I'll let you all know soon-ish which ones take transcript reporting as official.</p>
<p>I think you should just pay the money for the official scores... It costs $10 per university, and when your future is on the line, it's worth paying such a small fee.</p>
<p>How is your future on the line? If 7/9 schools that you're applying to (which is what it ended up to be for me) say that they take the scores your transcript as official, then what's the problem? </p>
<p>I say just be sure your scores are ON your transcript, call your schools for the o.k., and go for it. I saved $60 by doing that.</p>
<p>Can you use Score Choice by doing this?</p>
