<p>So maybe this was my fault for not reading the section about testing on the UPenn site but I didn't know that we had to send all SAT II tests...I thought it only applied to the SAT I so I sent both SAT I scores but didnt send one of four of my subject tests. If I would've known this, I would've sent all the tests and now I'm mad at myself because I don't want to be viewed as dishonest but sending ANOTHER score report is soooo ridiculous. My parents don't have money to throw down the drain. I did the same for Cornell -_-
What should I do? Should I REALLY send another report JUST to add that other stupid exam or should I send the ACT score report and hope that they just review that one?</p>
<p><em>sigh</em>
I always seem to find a way to mess things up :/</p>
<p>lol I really hate to say this, but you should have checked with each school OR you could have easily went on CB’s Score Choice website and checked the pdf document with every single school’s Score Choice practice… </p>
<p>that being said, I think you should still send ALL the scores, even though it will cost you. You are being dishonest if you don’t send all your scores and if the schools find out, you’re basically gone. Application in the trash (proverbially, assuming you submitted online). Call or e-mail the schools. I’m applying to Cornell this year and the admissions team is so friendly and helpful! Don’t be scared. Just tell them that your scores may be delayed since they might be, now that it’s Dec 24.</p>
<p>Should I tell them that I accidently used score choice on my subject tests or should I only say they’re gonna be delayed? Urgh my parents barely even wanted to pay for my score reports…I dunno how I’m gonna ask them for more money…I’m more scared about that than anything lol</p>
<p>No, just order all your SAT and SAT II scores sent regular delivery ($10 per college) not just the one so you don’t highlight it, and don’t send them any explanation. Scores will not be delayed if you order sent now – scores can arrive after app dealine date and those ordered sent by app deadline are not considered “delayed.” Also I do not know what your ACT score is but if high you should also send it to UPenn since it considers the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT IIs and thus if they consider your ACT better than your SAT and SAT IIs, Penn will use it for admission. Note the extra SAT II score should not hurt you because both Penn and Cornell consider highest two in determining admission.</p>
<p>Will you be taking more subject tests in January? If so, you can send the scores you forgot to send along with the January scores. In fact, some people even just register for a January subject test just to get the 4 free score reports (it might be cheaper than sending the regular score report, depending on how many schools you’re applying to). I would call, but I think schools are closed right now.</p>
<p>You can babysit/mow the lawn (LOL I FAIL it’s winter…)/vacuum the whole house/shovel snow to earn $20+ bucks easy. If you need to send the $10 reports, then do it. Just pay your parents back.</p>
<p>^You cannot just register for Jan test and get four free sends. Failure to take the test results in automatic cancellation including complete cancellation of your free sends.</p>
<p>Oh, I didn’t know that. Sorry about that! Well, I guess you’re just going to have to:
A) Take a subject test in January and get 4 free reports, then send your missing scores along with this score</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>B) Send “normal” score reports at $10 per school. </p>
<p>Personally, if I wasn’t applying to many schools (as in 5 or less) and I was in your situation, I would shovel driveways to earn some money, then pay my parents back for using their credit card. It’s fast and simple.</p>
<p>OMG its too late…I already sent them an email about this explaining how it was a mistake and an HONEST one at that.Seriously, I wish I had paid more attention…I’m super upset at myself and annoyed. My mom told me sending an email was best but the admissions office is closed now so I suppose it was kinda pointless. ahhhhh she doesn’t wanna give me any more money…she says it’s crazy. I kinda agree but it was my fault. I think I’ll pay my parents back with whatever xmas money I get. I don’t need to buy anything anyway. This is just so stressful because I worked hard on my apps and tried to do everything correctly -_-</p>
<p>No I meant it’s too late because I already sent them an email explaining my situation.
I’m not taking any January subject tests so I’m gonna have to find a way to borrow my parents’ credit card lol.
You’re right. I guess I’m stressed out because these are two schools I really wanted to have a good chance of getting into and screwing up in the application process is kinda a downer lol.<br>
Eh, I’ll try not to think about it too much.</p>
<p>Oh, I see. Well, that’s okay. They won’t even see your e-mail until after the holidays and by then, it won’t even matter too much. Plus, you’re being honest, unlike some other people who are undoubtedly trying to cheat the system (they’ll get CHOAL this christmas!)</p>
<p>Try borrowing your parents’ credit card to pay the score report fees, or try your grandparents, uncles/aunts, or an older sibling if you have one. Find a way. You can do it!</p>
<p>I wish there was a giant chart with every school and there requirements… wait, there actually is LOL it’s on Common App I think. I once saw it, anyway. No need for it now, though. </p>
<p>I still have to write some of my essays (yes, I procrastinate sometimes). I haven’t slept in 24hr, but haven’t been productive at all hehe I swear, our generation is going to age the fastest. We get no sleep, we are too stressed out, there are too many distractions, too much junk food readily-available, too much pollution, too much drugs, alcohol, etc. The list goes on. The whole education system is kind of messed up anyway. It’s SO arbitrary. It must be hard for the admissions team to compare thousands of people and to reject perfectly good applicants because of the smallest difference -sigh- Our world… such a strange world.</p>
<p>Sorry about the rant. I tend to do that, esp on matters concerning the human race & our planet.</p>
<p>LOL
Thanks for the encouraging words.
I always try to be honest cause lying catches up to you in the long run.</p>
<p>haha its so true though!
I think we all need to calm down, take a deep breath, and throw out the bag of cookies that is laying merrily beside our beds hahaha. I’m really sick and tired of being sick and tired XD</p>
<p>I still have my Cornell supplement to do and I’m not quite done with three of my supplements lol…I hate myself right now : p</p>
<p>I have really been procrastinating as well…it only makes me feel worse
oh well…we should be happy and having fun today… it’s Christmas Eve! : ))</p>
<p>haha I am munching on chocolates at the moment. It’s surprising I’m not obese yet b/c I eat SO much for someone my size (barely over 5 foot-how sad)</p>
<p>same. I think this university stuff is so stressful sometimes. I know I can handle it, but at the same time, I think of how my whole life will be stressed out. I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY, is that too much to ask? That’s my goal in life: to be happy.</p>
<p>haha I haven’t even done my Common App and supp apps for 2 of my schools! I have to write FIVE for Brown. I’m done 2, and started the 3rd one. Ugh. I also have a major research paper due end of December for regular high school (e-mail it to the teacher by midnight hahaha). My life = just superrrrrrr</p>
<p>I can’t stop procrastinating. It’s a disease! </p>
<p>We <em>should</em> be having fun today, but I’ve got a huge list of things I need to do… and yet I’m still on CC hahaha. CC is way too addicting.</p>
<p>hahaha
I’m only about 5 ft too!
lol
And I eat like a pig sometimes…it’s so hard to eat healthy in Texas…
especially as a Mexican cause there’s so much greasy food…and that’s
cause I’m vegetarian!
LOL I’m sick of procrastinating! With all the mistakes I’ve made with this score report
nonsense, I’m even more worried and tired!
All I seem to do is get on meebo, CC or skype with my penpal hahaha. It’s pretty stupid.
You poor thing…I’m lucky I don’t have anything due for school. But the term is gonna be over in the second week of January and I’m gonna have English next term…I still haven’t done my summer reading! lol helllllppppppppp ;p
I just want this whole process to be over…I won’t miss it :p</p>
