<p>'m applying to MIT early action, and the deadline is Nov. 1st for all materials. I took the Math 2 SAT II on 10/6. The scores come out around 10/24. </p>
<p>1) I read on MIT's website that it takes 4-6 weeks for you to get SAT scores. If this statistic is true, should I rush send my scores? (Does it really take 4-6 weeks...?)</p>
<p>2) How should I send my October score report? On CollegeBoard, it says that if I include my Math 2 score in my score report, none of my scores will be sent until the 10/6 scores are available. (Since that score will be available in about 20 days, I don't see how it would make the Nov 1st deadline.)
Would they prefer I send them a score report now, with all of my past scores excluding Math 2, and then order another score report to send them Math 2 only?
-OR-
Should I pre-order this score report with ALL my scores, so that they're all sent at one time after the October SAT II scores have come out?</p>
<p>From the MIT website: “In order to apply for freshman admission, you must take the required tests on or before the November test date for Early Action.
Please allow plenty of time for your scores to arrive at MIT.” See [Tests</a> & Scores | MIT Admissions](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/apply/freshman/tests]Tests”>Tests & scores | MIT Admissions)</p>
<p>As long as you took the tests in October, and as long as you arrange to have them arrive at MIT before they make all final decisions, you’ll be fine. Many applicants’ scores will come in within a week or two in the first half of November.</p>
<p>I totally agree with everything CalAlum says above, but I just want to add that you’re not required to have all your materials in by November 1, you’re required to have all your materials sent by November 1. As long as you make the arrangements to have the scores sent, you’re fine. You don’t need to rush October or November scores for EA at MIT as long as you designate MIT as a score recipient in advance.</p>
<p>Incidentally, it’s not clear to me why the College Board is so opaque to test-takers about the score reporting process. As I understand it, most schools (including MIT) get electronic delivery of scores at a regular interval, which I think is once a month. So it’s not that your scores will take four weeks to get to MIT – it’s that, if your scores are released right after MIT gets its monthly score report, it will take until the next report for them to get your scores.</p>
