Urgent: Sending sat scores dilemma

<p>Hey guys I have a huge problem right now. Before I begin, I want to tell you guys that I acknowledge this is pretty much entirely my fault and I am trying my best to fix the problem. It would be a huge help to me (life saving) if you could read my situation and answer the questions below.</p>

<p>Situation:
-> June SAT I -> 570/740/630
-> Oct SAT I -> 690/800/710
-> Nov SAT II (M2/Physics) -> 800/770
-> Dec 1st SAT I -> PROBLEM*
-> Applying to Harvard, Stanford and Princeton
-> School forms are sent + Application/Supps are basically done (just editing)</p>

<p>BUT</p>

<p>-> Forgot to send SAT scores until now
-> *Dec 1st SAT scores were delayed (I didn't get them on Dec. 20th, and I still haven't received them. I called them a few days ago and they said it would be out in the next week. I am confident in the scores as well.)
-> Today is December 24th and I need to send my SAT scores in ASAP
-> None of the Collegeboard/University offices are in right now and I can't call them for answers.</p>

<p>QUESTIONS!</p>

<ul>
<li>Do I have to do the rushed score reports or can I send them normally?</li>
<li>It says "send available scores" so if I send the scores I have right now, and since my December scores are not yet available, will they still see my December scores when they come out? </li>
<li>If I send them right now, will they arrive in time? (RD Jan 1st DL)</li>
<li>If the scores arrive late, is my application void?</li>
</ul>

<p>If you have any of the answers, please reply to this! Sorry for rambling but if you can help me, I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much in advance!</p>

<p>-99% you don’t have to rush them.
-Dunno about December – don’t you get some free schools w/each test taking?
-Yes they’ll get filed
-No it’s not void</p>

<p>You’re worrying too much. December scores are always considered for RD applications. Just send them before (1/1). Send in the Oct ones so they have atleast one score set. And if the Dec arrive after the deadline just call the admissions office. It’s not your fault.</p>

<p>If it helps, I called all of my schools and asked them about Dec ACT scores and those don’t come out til the 26th. Every school said they would accept them.</p>

<p>All of those schools are common app, so the scores are send online if I’m not mistaken (unless you’re mailing in your application which, from what I can see, is probably not the case). They don’t let you rush order score reports for common app schools because they can’t send them any faster than they already do and they obviously don’t have to pay for rush delivery from UPS/USPS (are you following me? sorry if this doesn’t make perfect sense I’m really tired). Anyway, bottom line- rush delivery not necessary. And they will definitely arrive on time. [assuming I’m correct about online delivery]</p>

<p>There is a pretty big chance that you are not alone and there are plenty of other kids applying to these schools who have to deal with the December score issues- I say just send the entire report including the December scores, especially if collegeboard said they will be out within a week. Pretty much every school accepts December scores for RD so they will understand that it’s collegeboard’s fault and not yours.</p>

<p>Most schools will take things like ACT/SAT scores or fee waivers for apps late.</p>
