Question About Reporting APs and SATs

Applying to College
1

<p>Should I use that form we got with our scores and officially report my scores to all the colleges I'm applying to? I'm assuming it'd look better than self-reporting...but it's also 15 bucks per school. </p>

<p>Also, on my scores page on CollegeBoard.com, it says my June Math 2 scores are still unavailable. But, the problem is, I signed up to take them but never showed up (which I was told was the process when you sign up for a test but aren't prepared to take it). How do I remove this? Will it show on my score reports to colleges? Worse comes to worst, I'll just take the Math 2 but I really don't want to.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>It is not necessary to request formal AP score reports to the schools that you are applying to. I doubt it would "look better," actually. I think schools would be quite indifferent whether they receive an endorsed AP score report. Everyone self-reports their scores, so save some money.</p>

<p>You have to have SAT score reports sent to all schools for them to evaluate you; APs you usually send after being admitted.</p>

<p>oh okay</p>

<p>GoldShadow, I know I have to formally report SAT scores...my question pertained to something else</p>

<p>When you report scores, about how many days will it take for universities to receive them?</p>

6

<p>I believe AP scores take about 1-2 weeks w/o rush mail, and probably the same for SATs.</p>

<p>1-2 weeks? that's pretty slow..</p>

<p>SATs take longer actually. I think w/o rush is 5-8 weeks. The moral of the story, of course, is that you should send them out early as opposed to paying the extra money PER SCHOOL to send them out days before the deadline. I had some experience with that when I sent my SATs mid-December for a Jan. 1st deadline. Fortunately, the UCs didn't seem to mind.</p>

<p>If you do not take a test that you signed up for, your online report will always show that "scores are still unavailable." However, your reports to colleges will show no evidence that you were registered for that test, so there's nothing to be concerned about.</p>
