Receive scores BY the deadline??

<p>I forgot to send my scores to Stanford! I took the test last June, but I haven't placed Stanford as my score recipient. Will do right now, but I'm sure it won't get there by Jan 1 deadline. Will Stanford still accept, or do they mean they NEED the scores by Jan 1?</p>

<p>Please answer ASAp!
Thanks!</p>

<p>lol, no, I’m just kidding. I’m pretty sure that they can get SAT scores after the deadline since it takes a while for them to process materials. (And I’m also quite certain that they have a date when they notify applicants of unreceived materials like recommendations, scores, etc. for the regular decision round). Good luck! : )</p>

<p>Bump – I’m in the same boat, does anyone know the answer without a doubt??</p>

<p>On the application instructions it says: “Your official test scores must arrive at Stanford by the appropriate application deadline.” :(</p>

<p>Their web site spells this out pretty clearly - and I think it says that the latest you can take SAT/tests, etc for the admissions process is early October, presumably so that they can get the scores BEFORE the January 1 application deadline.</p>

<p>From Stanford’s website:</p>

<p>[Application</a> Deadlines & Fees : Stanford University](<a href=“Page Not Found : Stanford University”>Page Not Found : Stanford University)
The last acceptable testing date for REGULAR decision is December (^^October is for Early Action). So I’m sure you are fine! I’m in the same boat, don’t fret about it.</p>

<p>Don’t worry, they’ll get it on time, just send it in as fast as possible. I sent mine a week ago, but lovely collegeboard still said its pending, so I just have to play the waiting game…after finishing and submitting my application of course :)</p>
