<p>Hey guys
I wanted to know if rush score option be used for SAT scores to be sent to a university as that university says scores must be submitted by Dec 1(RD). Score rush option costs $39 as opposed to $10 for normal delivery. How much time does it take in both the processes by the way?</p>
<p>It takes 4-6 weeks if you go in for normal delivery
and 2-3 business days if you opt score rush</p>
<p>Definitely not 4-6 weeks …</p>
<p>It takes 15 days for normal delivery and 2-3 business days for Rush! You have no option but Rush right now.</p>
<p>What is rush scoring and why do you have to use it? I don’t understand man :S</p>
<p>^Rush scores are used to send your SAT scores within 2 days to a university. You pay College Board extra (instead of the usual $9 per report) and it sends your scores electronically; it’s mainly used when the deadline to submit scores is very near - most people who use rush scores are those who take the Jan SAT or the Nov SAT (for ED).</p>
<p>If most scores are submitted electronically, then why does it take 15 days to reach the college? Shouldn’t it reach instantly?
College Board is the biggest money making machine in the States.</p>
<p>^You are henceforth banished for over-curiousity and breaking the omerta. Impertinent questions and remarks are not tolerated by College Board. Silence!!! </p>
<p>-_-</p>
<p>What crap. Seriously.</p>
<p>I didn’t use any rush score reporting option and the scores went to my ED university on the day they were announced.</p>
<p>^You mean they were sent to your university on the day of the results?? Or you mean your university received the scores on that day??</p>
<p>Same thing? :S</p>
<p>^I don’t think so. College Board might say it’s sent your scores, but that does’nt mean colleges immediately get to know of it. It takes at least one week for the scores to reach the college’s system, and the college itself definitely takes a couple of days for processing.</p>
<p>Not true. Lol. </p>
<p>The app status page told me that all materials had been received on the day of the november score results :)</p>
<p>It varies from college to college I suppose but if what you said was true for all universities, then I’d be glad. I’m taking the Jan SAT actually, and I really am worried about my scores reaching on time.</p>
<p>Oh and when did you order your scores to be sent?? Before they came out right??</p>
<p>Ah, I didn’t see this before.
You must have used the free reports? They reach before time. Otherwise one is stuck with using rush.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I did use the free reports… Sorray maai baaad</p>
<p>hey guys i’m freaking out. please respond to this.
so a couple days ago i sent my SAT scores even though the last SAT i took was in november. i was freaking out that colleges (harvard, princeton, darmouth, upenn, stanford)
wouldn’t get my scores in time so i rushed to be safe. judging from other forums, i obviously blew my money, but rush shipping DOES send scores electronically, right? i’m not too late for sending in my reports?
also harvard doesn’t accept rush shipping?! will they not get my official scores?
if they do, will the fact that i sent rushed when they explicitly said not to work against me in the admissions process?</p>
<p>No, you’re not late.</p>
<p>It obviously won’t work against you dude. Harvard doesn’t have the time to reprimand you for the way u send your score reports until nd unless its officially sent by CB.</p>
<p>I’ll b rushing my reports when they come out on 21st.</p>
<p>^Do we need to rush report December scores from 21st? I mean, if the January scores are fine, then why bother with December? Seems like a waste of money.</p>
<p>Still, why take the risk … Many universities to which I’ve applied do not accept Jan. scores.
Moreover, some of the univs. specifically state that they do not accept scores electronically but by mail only (eg. UC Berkeley). So …</p>
