How we send ACT/SAT scores to colleges and when we should order it?
Like do we need to order through college board to direct to college or is there is a way to do through common app.for each college we are applying?
When we should order it,like if deadline is November for common app.for a college ,so is that means that they should receive score by that time?
Thanks in advance !
You order it through the testing agency
No, unless the college allows you to self report score on the application, but does not require a score report until admissions decisions have been made. Check to see what your target colleges require.
If you are done with testing, you can order it now. If you have more tests to take, assuming the college accepts the test date for that application deadline, you can order them right after you take the test. Also note, for the SAT, you can list 4 colleges on your answer sheet to receive the score report for free.
It depends on the college. Most colleges give a few days leeway. UMichigan, however, is an example of a college that, at least in the past, requires the scores by the deadline. Additionally, it a college accepts November scores for ED, those obviously can’t be sent by November 1.
Thank you so much for explaining.
We not summit the common app. for colleges yet ,is it ok to order the score from testing agency now to the colleges where we are applying and summit the application near the deadline ? How application and test score is going to connected.
Please suggest when to order for OCTOBER deadline (like how long college board will take to send?).I hope its not too let to order for it?
thanks!
It’s common for scores to be sent before the application. The colleges know how to match them up, so you don’t need to worry.
If you’re taking the October test, your best option is to enter the college codes on your answer sheet to send and the scores will be sent to the colleges at roughly the same time as they are sent to you. If you want to wait and see your scores when they are released on 10/19 and then order for colleges, you should still be OK for the 11/1 deadline
