Reporting SAT scores - Quick question

Parents Corner

<p>Son took SAT I in April '06. He put down on the form that he wanted his scores sent to Colleges A, B, C and D. Now, six months later, he's applying for Fall '07 admission to Colleges A, B, X and Y.</p>

<p>Should we pay $ to have his scores sent again to Colleges A and B? Or can we assume they'll still have the score report they received back in the Spring? I'm inclined to pay the money, because (i) it's not much, (ii) I really wonder whether they'll be able to find the score report from six months ago, and (iii) I have to pay to have the scores sent to Colleges X and Y in any event so what the heck.</p>

<p>Sound reasoning or am I wasting good money?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I wouldn't bother re-sending the scores. They should be able to find them. If you have any doubts, give the admissions offices a call.</p>

<p>You probably are wasting good money. They should have his scores.</p>

<p>My D did the same, I'm assuming they got the scores and filed them. If the schools say otherwise, I'll ask the CB to send them again for free.</p>

5

<p>We are doing the same thing, and we are not paying to resend scores to the schools we listed for free.</p>

<p>I'd not bother to re-send the scores to A & B. He can self-report on the app & if they have lost the scores he previously sent for any reason, they'll contact him or his counselor for confirmation. If you want to call college A & B to double-check that they still have his scores on file, you can do so before deciding what to do, but I'd save the money. You'll end up spending a lot anyway with all the fees & deposits. :)</p>
