<p>I'm applying ED to Cornell and am looking into sending my score reports like this weekend. First of all, does it matter if I send the score reports before I send the application? Second, do I need to pay to have the reports rushed since it's just over a week until the Nov. 1 deadline?</p>
<p><em>bump</em> Anybody know how this works?</p>
<p>I don't think it matters, from what I've heard colleges stick everything received from an applicant into a folder that isn't reviewed until everything is there. It depends on the college for rushed reports, I know for BU they don't accept rushed reports but they will accept my Oct SAT test scores. I'm applying ED there.</p>
<p>Ah okay. So it shouldn't be a problem that they probably won't get my score report until after Nov. 1?</p>
<p>just play safe and ask them, since this is your ED college, might as well make sure every single detail goes as planned</p>
<p>All colleges need to have Testing and scores sent before the deadline. They cann reach later. Although Cornell is a pain in the ass admission centre.. disorganaized as hell.. so I advise calling them</p>
<p>I guess there is nothing I can do about it. I'm sending them $70 to read my application which will be on time. If they have trouble with the score reports then there really is nothing I can do since the score report sending is out of my hand even if I rushed because rushed reports don't even have the full report on them and I don't wanna spend an extra $20. I'm hoping worst case scenario is that they call me/e-mail me saying they don't have it.</p>
<p>they need to actually have the scores in the mail by nov 1 or you need to have the request in to collegeboard by nov 1?</p>
<p>ask Cornell how they receive their reports</p>
<p>Large schools often get a weekly package of reports from College Board and do not even accept rush reports.</p>

<p>No, quite a few places allow November testing for ED/EA. For instance, Cornell itself allows November SAT testing (but not ACT testing -- that has to be no later than October). <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/firstyear/early.cfm%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/firstyear/early.cfm</a></p>
<p>(But don't feel bad, Antarius. I said the same thing myself and someone corrected me -- even had a long list of schools that accept November testing. It seems like what you said should be true, but it isn't.) </p>
<p>Given this, I doubt there is a need to rush anything, mikeyc765. But if you are concerned, just ask Cornell directly.</p>
<p>Also, there is no problem sending score reports before applications.</p>
