<p>I just received my SAT score from my December test. My score has increased a lot and i would like to submit it in; however i have already submitted my application. </p>
<p>Should i E-mail the schools and tell them about my change in score?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the help!</p>
<p>Very many schools take updated SAT scores up to January 15 or later. Check on [url=<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5DCollege”>http://www.collegeboard.com]College</a> Admissions - SAT - University & College Search Tool<a href=“in%20the%20%22deadlines%22%20tab”>/url</a> for each school, and see if the deadline hasn’t passed. Yale, for example, takes SAT scores all the way up to the 1st of March. Best of luck.</p>
<p>thanks so much for the quick response. however inside my common app the score i listed was not my highest. should i email the college and tell them about my new score?</p>
<p>I don’t think you need to e-mail the ones which have sufficient deadlines for your new scores. For example, I’ve sent all of my SAT scores to Yale already, and have indicated them on the CommonApp, but I will also send my scores from the January 28 test date, even though I obviously haven’t indicated those ones on the CommonApp (I won’t be e-mailing them about the issue, either).</p>
<p>However, if a school’s SAT score submission deadlines are January 1/December 31, you should definitely e-mail them and tell them about the delay from CollegeBoard - they might make an exception.</p>
<p>okay thank you so much. i have just sent my scores right now and alot of my schools have deadlines at jan 15th do you think my scores would reach the schools in time?</p>
<p>I’m not sure, actually. I believe there is a “rush” option available when you send your scores, which costs an additional $40 or so, but if you don’t want to pay that, you should e-mail your schools and let them know about the situation and the possible delay. I’m not completely sure though, because I think the regular option means SAT scores are delivered in 10 days time. Double-check that, and if it is 10 days, I’d suggest doing what I said above.</p>
<p>Need2Getin, You are fine. My S emailed a few colleges to let him know about his Dec. SAT and ACT scores, which came in after several of his apps were complete, and they responded saying thanks, and one school (Ithaca) said they could already see his scores because they came electronically. My S’s scores went up significantly in math since the Spring scores, so he felt it was important to make sure they saw this. </p>
<p>By emailing them, he also was able to touch base with the admissions counselor in a positive way, and they really didn’t have do anything since he told them the scores were sent to them officially.</p>
<p>p.s. he did not “rush” any of his scores … they showed up fast enough at the colleges.</p>
<p>They only use official scores sent by College Board anyway. Just let the school know what the scores were and that official confirmation is on the way. I’ve seen on several colleges’ admissions pages that you should not use the “rush” option, as it actually slows things down. You could ask the school for their experience with that.</p>
