Processing dates for sending SAT scores

<p>After you request scores to be sent through CB (if you did not list the schools on your registration), it takes three-five weeks to process. I submitted my requests less than two weeks ago and they are- thankfully!- already processed. My question is, how long after scores are processed do the colleges actually receive them? Is that automatic, or is there an additional waiting time?</p>

<p>"Please do not utilize the “rush” service in sending your test scores to Columbia; doing so does not speed up the processing of your test scores. We obtain all testing via a secure Web site to which we are provided access by the appropriate testing agency"</p>

<p>this is from the columbia website so i dont know that every school does it, but i imagine that some of them must...</p>

<p>That method makes sense. Has anyone else heard that that is how scores are sent?</p>
