<p>Hello,
I am applying to a few colleges and their test scores deadline is January 1. I know I am kind of late but I really didn't know that it takes 1-2 weeks for the previous SAT scores to get to colleges and just a few days for the December SAT scores to be sent. I thought as long as I am sending my scores IN December with my December SAT scores it would be okay. But it seems like I should "rush ship" my scores because today is Dec.23. I sent emails to the admissions offices of those schools but all of them replied with an email saying that it is a holiday and my mail will be replied in 2014. .... what should I do? it would be extremely hard for me to find that additional 20$s on each school. And the delivery method is by mail. if anyone ever experienced anything similar,help me please!! I am really worried</p>
<p>1) check to see if the colleges accept the January testing date. If so, then you know for sure, they accept test scores beyond the jan 1 deadline</p>
<p>2) For most schools, RUSH sending isn’t needed. What happens is they print out your results and mail them. Normally, they just process scores and submit a regular data dump – an instantaneous download by the colleges. Some colleges specifically tell students NOT to rush send the scores as it’s a waste of money.</p>
<p>3) the Jan 1 deadline is for your part of the application. Many other documents will trickle in that are out of your control – and the colleges are fine with it. If anything is missing, say, by the end of Feb, they will contact you for it – remember: they WANT to admit you.</p>
<p>Thank you T26E4!
no they don’t accept January testing dates. But you are probably right. Thank you for answering. So I’ll just choose the regular shipping.</p>
<p>BTW it’s not 20$ extra for each college. U get rush report for all colleges(if u send them together) by paying 20$. I know cause I sent rush report to Ohio, but I sent Purdue, TAMU and Georgia Tech at the same time, so I got rush report for all. So, I would advice u to go for the rush report if u don’t want to take any chances.</p>
<p>Oh. I didn’t know that. thank you. I certainly don’t want to take chances so maybe if it’s 20$ for all colleges, I should maybe rush report.</p>
