<p>I sent out my reports on December 21, but they are still "pending". I am applying to: Brown, Cornell, Harvard, and Dartmouth. Will these reports get to the schools on time for Jan 1 (Jan 3 for Cornell)?</p>
<p>Brown & Harvard says material should be "postmarked" by the deadline, but they receive scores electronically. Most of these schools accept January scores ("will be added to your profile", etc.)</p>
<p>I'm so nervous. CB is closed today (Christmas) & they won't be open for a few more days.</p>
<p>Please help! What should I do? Have you ever had this happen to you?</p>
<p>Yes. Same here. I also paid an additional $30 to rush report my scores… It said that it would send them within two business days, but it’s still ‘pending.’ This is bad…! Don’t the colleges need to have time for internal processing?</p>
<p>I didn’t rush my scores b/c schools don’t like that and some can’t even process rushed reports. I’m really nervous. I think I’m going to call CB tomorrow if they’re open. Most oy my schools accept January scores, so I’m not TOO worried, but still.</p>
<p>For all the ivies, scores can arrive after deadline and, in fact, they will even accept January test scores. You have no issue if you order the scores sent regular delivery by or even a little after the deadline.</p>
<p>Also, for all those who are worried, here’s what actually happens if you are late on scores: in the latter part of January or sometime in February, you will get a notice from the college that something required is missing from your file and they will tell you to send it promptly (and if you do so you will be OK).</p>
<p>^can you provide a link where you found that first bit of information (scores can arrive after deadline ends)? I know they said “postmark by Jan 1”, but I don’t know how things work with electronic reports. </p>
<p>CB is open tmrw and I will call them then. Thanks drusba.</p>
<p>I also have this same issue! I don’t really know what to do. The deadline to receive SAT scores for Swarthmore and NYU is January 1 and my scores are still pending. It has been a week :S</p>
