If I can't send an ACT score report...Can I still go to college?!

<p>******** :)</p>

<p>somehow your responses fall flat compared to the effort and intensity of the posters trying to help you. with no further info, i think i'll stop at this point, as it feels artificial. PM someone if it will help. what did you think about tokenadult?</p>

<p>the score reports will cost like 20 dollars each!!!!</p>

<p>enough. you are no different from any other college applicant.</p>

<p>I pm'd him but he hasn't responded</p>

<p>ahhhh!!!! I'm serious, I don't want to rip off a college or ACT!</p>

<p>he will. he might be away. he's extremely diligent.</p>

<p>and Metallica.....how do you lie on a transcript.....i've never touched my transcript in my life</p>

<p>So wait how will you pay for college if you can't pay for these simple reports?</p>

<p>On the last page, it says they will accept a photocopy of your test results.</p>

<p>However, how are you planning to pay your application fees?</p>

<p>I'm sick of the CC people who call others liars. Most of them are probably northeast students going to the top private schools in the state.</p>

<p>I'm surprised no one has suggested this yet:</p>

<p>CALL THE COLLEGES! Explain the situation and ask them what to do. They should give a little leeway. Also, why can't you get a fee waiver? Is there a rule against it or something?</p>

<p>"I'm surprised no one has suggested this yet:CALL THE COLLEGES! Explain the situation and ask them what to do."</p>

<p>people already suggested that the OP send colleges an e-mail explaining his/her situation. and to the OP, i agree that you should call the colleges to explain, and maybe you could also print off a copy of your scores and send them in, just so your colleges will have something official-esque in hand...</p>

<p>Ask your school to cover the cost for now.</p>

<p>Umm, my college counselor told me that most schools will accept scores from the transcripts (then again, we're a testing site, etc.). We have a 99% matriculation rate at my school, so the counseling office sends out thousands of transcripts yearly, he said that they rarely have a problem with it.. only the schools that are extremely selective (I.E. Ivies) seem to have a problem with it.</p>

<p>Ishkabob, on 12/31 you posted in another thread that you paid your app fees (which are much more than ACT fees): <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/442265-can-you-submit-application-fees-few-days-late.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/442265-can-you-submit-application-fees-few-days-late.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You started another thread on 12/19 asking if you should get an iPod or a Zune: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/435787-ipod-zune.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/435787-ipod-zune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>At best you are leaving something out of the story.</p>

<p>The fee waiver system is set up specifically for students who can't afford the fees. If you can't apply for a fee waiver (why?), then you're stuck.</p>

<p>(And as noted on another thread, most schools do require official, not transcript, score reports. I had already quoted the language from Villanova and William and Mary for you.)</p>

<p>lol, I dont know if this is fake or not but, the OP has around 500 posts and threads, so I dont think he would just try to prank or lie. Usually, people who lie are "new members" or the sort.</p>

<p>Yea, I am also confused on how you sent in app fees. how do you afford internet? I bet you could get all the money in a couple day's work. minimum wage is like 6 bucks? (sorry if it's wrong, I dont live in the US). WHy dont you have a fee waiver? (And I understand you cannot borrow money from a parent, because that would be awkward, but it's college so, I would step it up.)</p>

<p>CAll the colleges. If your phone is out of service b/c you cant pay the bills, emailing is always ok.
But, email will take too long at this time.
Good luck.</p>

<p>I really don't have internet.....the library is a block from my house. My family is broke because we are helping my aunt pay hospital bills (she has cancer) and its alottttt of money...my college fund is screwed</p>

<p>If things are really that bad then sell your iPod or Zune or whatever you bought a few days ago.</p>

<p>Apply for the ACT fee waiver.</p>

<p>I'm not trying to be heartless, but if things are that bad that you can't afford the ACT fee then you need to rethink your priorities.</p>
