<p>I am so upset.
Today I noticed my dd's mistake on the common app. She put in a test date and score but the test date was wrong. How can I alert the colleges about this? And Harvard is saying they need unofficial scores reported officially. Do they want every ACT test score that appeared on the common app? And I noticed today that another school put in a wrong score (notice on an admission tracking link). </p>
<p>Finally, dd "rushed" subject test scores to Harvard but now it seems like they don't accept rushed reporting though the SAT site referred to it as rush scoring. The wording is confusing. </p>
<p>I'm really discouraged. It seems so hard to unwravel whether the schools got the information and then make sure it was inputted correctly.</p>
<p>What you self report on the common app isn’t very important; the official report counts. A quick email will clear things up.</p>
<p>College Board rips people off with rushed shipping. Harvard receives scores electronically, so it’s instant. If you “rush” it, they sent it with priority or overnight mail or something like that, so it actually takes longer.</p>
<p>Harvard should still accept it, it probably just took a couple days longer, and a couple weeks to process and appear online, as usual.</p>
<p>If you have any doubts, feel free to call admissions.</p>
<p>Wow, Billy. You are so kind to respond so quickly. This is my oldest child and I feel awful for not being more of top of my game. So, Harvard’s website says something to the effect of “unofficial reports” are still not there. But dd did not want to send the dates they are referring to. Do they ask about them because they are noted on the common app? </p>
<p>Then Harvard is saying something about needing official scores and not rushed reporting. Well, isn’t the rushed scoring from College Board actually official? Should I pay to have College Board send it snail mail? I don’t get this. </p>
<p>It is an awful feeling to think your own child might be limited by their mother’s lack of savy.</p>
<p>I will have her do that. My only concern was that she would be underscoring an error that might not get picked up (stated that she took an ACT test on 6/2009 when it was actually 9/2009). </p>
<p>So you think an e-mail to each college she applied to?</p>
