Early Decision- rushing October and November SAT scores?

Hi everyone,

I applied to Penn ED and had my October SAT scores sent around a month ago, but the status of the order is still “awaiting fulfillment” and my Penn portal also suggests that admissions have not received my scores. Is this normal due to the high traffic or should I follow this up with the Collegeboard? In addition, I also arranged to have my November SAT scores sent to Penn, but am now worried that this will not reach admissions in time if my October experiences are replicated. Should I have these scores rushed?

Check with College Board. Likely they went out within the week. It sometimes takes a while for colleges to catch up on updating the portals. Rushing used to make a difference when the data went by letter. Now, not so much. It’s all sent electronically.
