<p>@calgirl, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. This is what the status page says:</p>
<p>"Test scores come to us via internet downloads almost as quickly as they are reported to you. Don’t worry if your score records don’t show new tests for a few days after you first receive your results…SATs are delivered once a week, and rushed SATs are delivered daily. All prior data has been posted. "</p>
<p>When did the results come out? Give it at least a week, then email them if they still don’t have it. This is what it says on the Harvard application:</p>
<p>“If you have a concern regarding your standardized test scores as they
appear on your status page, please send a brief message
describing the concern to us at <a href=“mailto:scores@fas.harvard.edu”>scores@fas.harvard.edu</a>. Please be sure to
include your full name, date of birth and name of high school in your
message.”</p>
<p>Hmm…@calgirl15: my collegeboard page says that they were sent on november 20th but my Harvard status page has no record of them. Like they are not even there, probably because they were never reported. I will throw them an email next week. They always say wait at least 5 business days anyway, and because of the holiday it may take a bit longer. </p>
<p>But it seems we are in the same boat! (haha except my scores freaking suck!)</p>
<p>i believe it was supplement. and strangely all my app stuff, even though I live in California, was picked up on the east coast late day, nov 4th…can anyone explain this?</p>
<p>Oh, I see. Actually, my November SAT IIs were REALLY bad as well. Not the “oh no I got a 750” kind of bad; they were really depressingly bad - one was a 670 and the other was a 530 (yuck). Although I’m a bit suspicious that something might have gone wrong during the scoring process, because I studied for months for the test I got a 670 on and agreed with the vast majority of the answers in the consolidated answers thread after taking it. I also got a 4 on the corresponding AP test for the SAT II that I got a 530 in, and got a number of awards in that subject, so I think something’s amiss. I’m sending my score verification request to the post office later today. :P</p>
<p>And I’m just glad these aren’t my only SAT IIs. I took five other SAT IIs on earlier dates, and did very well on all of them, so thankfully it’s not the end of the world for me. :)</p>
<p>@ojodeltigre, how is that funny? I love learning new languages and noticed its proximity to Spanish (yes, I know Spanish is derived from Latin, but still…)</p>
<p>I’m glad you guys gave me a chance to comment on the “rara avis” thing. It’s from a line from juvenal. My latin teacher even used it to describe me in her recommendation. lol.</p>
<p>It’s so disconcerting to go on FB and read about others’ acceptances. For most of my classmates, they can pretty much predict whether they will get into their dream school or not… For us on her, though, it’s a clusterfuuu…</p>
<p>On another note, it’s really hard to study for all my latin competitions when no one in my school is willing to work with me or even do latin outside of the classroom! F my life!!! Geez it sucks to be from an apathetic public school.</p>
<p>@calgirl the chances that they have messed up are close to none. its like 1 in a ten thousand chance. usually its because of one mis-bubble that screws up the rest of your test that you dont notice. :\ its what happened to one of my friends that ended up getting a 2 on the ap test even though they totally were slated to get a 5</p>
<p>@ bananafreak: No, this isn’t the typical “I think they made a scanning error” complaint. I think my case is different from most others, because when I registered for the tests, the address that was on file was my address in the U.S. But since I’m currently overseas, I had to take the international versions of the tests. The confusing thing is that my admission ticket and answer sheet both have my U.S. address listed, even though my testing center was in another country. I don’t think they made a scanning error, but I do think they may have used the answer key for the U.S. tests to score mine (which were the international tests).</p>
<p>@calgirl in that case, you probably did amazing and got 800s on everything XD did you auto-send those scores to harvard though? you might have to write to explain to them too</p>
<p>@collegeinfo: Haha I’m a fellow linguaphile myself You just reminded me of a funny moment in AP Spanish when this kid started ranting about how the Romans “copied” everything- architecture and religion from the Greeks and Latin from the Spaniards (he was no history buff, to say the least ;))</p>
<p>How would I go about explaining that to Harvard? I don’t know whether they’d buy my explanation, even though it seems highly likely that an error occurred…</p>
<p>@EVERYBODY LOL. so my physics teacher gave me one of his old recs from a summer program last year, and i noticed that he also likes to used the “rara avis” thing a lot too. so more than likely he included it in my harvard rec. we’ll see how this goes, cuz i hated him using that phrase. made me sound like uncooked thanksgiving turkey.</p>
<p>Also, you all seem to have such great personalities!!! I, too, am passionate about languages, especially ancient ones. I sincerely do hope that we all meet each other at Harvard…</p>
