<p>I'm fed up with rummaging through school websites to see whether they require the official, pay-15-bucks SAT/AP score report, or whether they'll take your counselor's word for it. I don't think I'm the only person with this problem... Please add to the list as a public service! It'll reduce confusion and hours of looking through endless websites!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Schools I know require the official report:
Vanderbilt
University of Chicago
Middlebury
Dartmouth</p>
<p>You’d be better off taking the opposite approach, as most schools require official score reports from the CB and will not accept information from your school.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t see any problem with “rummaging through school websites”, the best way to get important information, such as what is needed to have a complete application, is to go directly to the college website, not by word of mouth on internet discussion boards.</p>
<p>Lewis and Clark is the only college I know who accepts it via counselor. I emailed Brown and Amherst a while ago and they both did accept it via counselor, but now their websites say differently.</p>
<p>I agree. I don’t know any schools that will accept via school report or counselor. I think some of our local schools will accept an unofficial copy of the scores along with a hand carried transcript for admissions consideration, however, once accepted, they want the original direct mail forms before registration.</p>
<p>Yea this is worrisome for me cause I applied for a full-ride scholarship to my backup school (to make sure it would be a total safety) a while back and on the scholarship form they said they needed you to submit the regular application plus recommendations, an extra essay, and either SATs through CB or on your transcript. Everything was do Nov 1 and I got it all in on time but my councilor just printed out the page on college board that says on it you cant print this out for a score report which I thought at first would be fine but then the website of the actual school says you can’t do that. I emailed the school almost a week ago to get clarification about which is right, the scholarship application or the schools website, and they haven’t responded so now I’m going to send the scores through CB but I just don’t want to not qualify for the scholarship. I wish these things didn’t contradict themselves =/</p>
<p>All of them, would be my initial guess. Certainly just about every college where you scores could improve your admission chances (rather than being ignored) would expect official score reports. That’s what official score reports are for–to tell colleges you are interested in what score you got.</p>
