<p>Do colleges ever get rid of your SAT score reports and recommendation letters? I sent both of those in a few months ago, but I haven't actually sent in my actual application yet. Can I expect a college to still have those things in their possession in a file for me, or do I have to re-send them?</p>
<p>A few months ago? Yes, they should still have them and there is likely already a file opened in your name into which they will put your application when it arrives.</p>
<p>Colleges generally create an application file as soon as something arrives that would be in it such as SAT scores. That file will then be kept for at least a year even if nothing else arrives.</p>
