<p>Hi, I am kind of at a loss as to what I should do. Everytime I took the ACT/SAT (3 times each), I sent my scores to the same 4 colleges. I submitted my application three days ago to Harvard and got my applicant PIN number to check my status.
This is what it says next to test scores:
SAT-I January 2009 - un-official
March 2009 - un-official
October 2008 - un-official
SAT-II May 2009 Math Level II - un-official
May 2009 U.S. History - un-official
May 2009 Literature - un-official
ACT April 2009 - un-official
February 2009 - un-official
For tests marked as "un-official", Harvard has not yet received official score reports from the appropriate testing agencies.</p>
<p>I really don't want to pay the $30 just to send scores that I already sent.
It has been four days since I applied, and I feel like they would have already had them in the system (since I sent them multiple times over the course of the last year).
If anyone has any experience with this, please advise me.</p>
<p>If you are certain that you designated Harvard as one of the 4 recipients on the SAT form, then call the college board and ask them to straighten this out, otherwise, i’m afraid you will have to cough up some more money to have additional scores sent.</p>
<p>Doesnt Harvard receive something like 30,000 applications? Granted, only a small percentage of those have been submitted by now, but still, it could take WEEKS for even a generously staffed admissions office to process and update so MUCH info. If only 8,000 kids have applied so far and each of them had taken as many tests as you have, that would be close to 50 THOUSAND test scores to upload and assign to your electronic file.</p>
<p>Don’t even THINK about sending all that money to the College Board. Harvard will get your electronic file updated as soon as possible. It could take WEEKS. </p>
<p>I just hate the idea of sending all that money for no reason.</p>
<p>Don’t about all the “un-official” stuff; it usually takes Harvard a few weeks to download and process officially all your results from the College Board database. The fact that you’ve got those scores recorded there means they at least have recognized whatever scores you put down on your common app, which they trust enough to use in the interim if they read your file.</p>
