Harvard SAT Scores - 1 Set by Dec 1?!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I was looking at the deadlines for Harvard:</p>

<p>Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Application Timeline</p>

<p>I just happened to chance upon this: "Please submit at least one set of official test scores by [December 1st]."</p>

<p>I did not see this anywhere else in their deadlines, nor on the College Board site. </p>

<p>I did not get them my scores by that date. I am sending them today. What does this mean for me? Will I be denied admissions on this basis?</p>

<p>Regards.</p>

<p>Ok woah, I did not know this. Sent my scores on December 5th :S</p>

<p>EDIT: Ok this is weird.</p>

<p>On the CB website, I went on “SAT sent scores history” and it says:</p>

<p>The following scores were sent on December 5th:
<em>lists the scores</em>
The following scores were sent on November 30th:
And here it lists the same scores as the ones sent on December 5th.</p>

<p>I seem to have just made that deadline, but it appears that CB sent my scores twice :confused:
I’m hoping I didn’t pay double the fee. Is anyone else getting this?</p>

<p>Sorry Sci-Fry, I don’t mean to be a jerk but please don’t drive this thread off-topic.</p>

<p>I haven’t had any problems. It should list the same scores, but it should have them sent to different schools.</p>

<p>Honestly, I had no idea about this deadline (and wouldn’t have) until I had happened to check that page today (which is the only place where I found it). I’m not going to claim that it’s not there, but it’s certainly not obvious. I’m sending an e-mail and will call them on Jan 4th to see what the deal is, but if anyone knows anything more about this, please post here.</p>

<p>Sorry for hijacking the thread before!</p>

<p>I did some reading on this, and from what I understand December 1st is only a priority deadline. It doesn’t affect your admissions chances, but it means that it’s easier for them to arrange an interview etc.</p>

<p>Since Harvard even accepts January scores, I don’t think it would matter too much if you sent scores after December 1st. It’s more a case of making life easier for them.</p>

<p>That puts my mind at ease a bit, SilverTurtle!</p>

<p>I’m still going to call them and see what they say; that statement regarding the SAT scores seems to be to be a requirement.</p>
