<p>UVa (10 chars)</p>
<p>Not applying to Columbia myself, but glanced at my friend's print-out from the website and it said to not rush the scores.</p>
<p>What does it mean they don't accept rushed scores?</p>
<p>people tell me Penn State doesn't take rushed scores.......... they say that this was stated at the Penn STate website itself. BUT I CANT FIND IT....... CAN SOMEONE GIMME THE LINK THAT SAYS. DO NOT RUSH SCORES TO PENN STATE? IS THIS TRUE FACT OR FALSE?</p>
<p>I know that I'm goin' to sound like an idiot but why don't some colleges accept rushed scores ? I mean what are the differences b/w rushed scores and scores sent at normal pace ? Do rushed scores mess with some colleges' systems or the like ? :]</p>
<p>Penn State:</p>
<p>It is not necessary to send test scores using the "Rush" option. Testing services send us scores electronically at the student's request on a nearly weekly basis.</p>
<p>It said that once I started my application, describing the need to have SAT/ACT scores sent.</p>
<p>Can anyone help me with my question:</p>
<p>"why don't some colleges accept rushed scores ? I mean what are the differences b/w rushed scores and scores sent at normal pace ? Do rushed scores mess with some colleges' systems or the like ?"</p>
<p>Thanks in advance ^_^</p>

<p>You should check with your college before ordering rush reports because institutions receive scores in different formats and may not review your scores until their next scheduled delivery time.</p>
<p>bumping it</p>
<p>Colleges don't like to receive rush scores because it is inconvenient and more work. When they process 1000s of apps they use streamlined system. They like to electronically download scores in big chunks at regular intervals. Your rushed score is simply a pain in the neck for them.</p>
<p>does vanderbilt accept them?</p>
<p>What about Embry-Riddle, Rose Hulman or Purdue?</p>
<p>I think rush reports are on paper whereas sending them regularly means they're sent electronically. It's just easier for colleges not to have to deal with paperwork. Anyway, that's the reason Columbia gives.</p>
<p>ic. then why are electronically sent scores slower?</p>
<p>I don't think they're necessarily sent slower. I think colleges just check their score reports in batches at set intervals so that someone sending their scores two weeks before will have their scores processed on the same day someone sending their scores one week before will have theirs processed. </p>
<p>Just my speculations.</p>
<p>it says on teh cb website that it takes 3-5 weeks to send scores normally versus rushed (2 days).</p>
<p>Oh, sorry. Um, I don't really know. I mean, the whole point of rushed reports is that they reach the school faster, but the downside is that they're more inconvenient to handle.</p>
