<p>Is a photocopy of score report which is signed and certified by a guidance counselor acceptable? What colleges would accept it?</p>
<p>Thank you all!</p>
<p>There are a lot that will take a photocopy or the score off your transcript to make the initial admission decision (usually conditioned on your later providing the official score). You will find that true at a huge number of state colleges. It is best to check the websites of the particular colleges you are interested in to see if they do that.</p>
<p>So, they still needs official report? The score report fee is expensive for me. Would they accept a photocopy signed by a counselor?</p>
<p>I meant the fee for sending score report is expensive for me.</p>
<p>Yes, most of those still require an official one after you are admitted but the point is if you are accepted and are afterwards sending it the official report, it means you are planning to attend that college and don't need to send any more reports elsewhere. You obviously don't need to send them an offical report if you decide not to accept admission at the college. </p>
<p>Note, there are still a lot of colleges that require that official report for you even to be considered for admission. If you cannot afford the cost and can show that, it will be waived by the College Board.</p>
<p>Ah! Thank you drusba. Quote--"it will be waived by the College Board" You meant the fee of test taking or score reporting? How can it be waived?</p>
<p>i think it's possible to get either, or both, waived. check out the collegeboard website and look for a link</p>
<p>I think you have to ask your college counselor at your HS.</p>
<p>Fee</a> waiver information </p>
<p>The website doesn't specifically mention waiving the fee for score reports. However, if you guidance counselor were to call an admissions officer at the universities that you are applying to and explain your situtation, I bet most colleges would accept the sugned score report copy, at least for the admissions process (They would, as someone said before, require an official report before letting you enroll)</p>
<p>Thank you all :-)</p>
<p>that's kinda crap that colleges demand that</p>
<p>"crap"? What do you mean?</p>
