Multiple collegeboard accounts

Hi everyone,

I accidentally created 3 collegeboard accounts- one is from middle school, the other my school made for me (which I did not know about), and the other I created now because I forgot the other 2 existed. Two do not have scores in them, and the other one is where all of my scores are getting sent to. Also, two of them are associated with the same email. Is this a problem? Will I get in trouble for this?

PS- I called collegeboard about this and they said that it shouldn’t be a problem for college admissions and that I won’t get in trouble, but as I was registering for the sat, in their policy it basically said that I would get in trouble if I had multiple collegeboard accounts.

My S had a similar issue - an old account set up by his middle school with different email so his middle school results were not carrying over to the HS account. We sent an email to customer service and they set up a ticket. It took a couple of weeks but they merged the old account into his new HS account.

Yes, I had to do the same thing. Unfortunately it took a couple hours on the phone with the college board to get it finally merged and resolved.
