When do colleges receive scores?

<p>When you register online, you have the option to select which colleges you want your scores sent to, right? So how long does it usually take for the college to receive your scores?</p>

<p>Like two weeks. Colleges may be lenient about score reporting. The application due date (e.g., January 1) generally doesn’t encompass when your SAT score report must arrive, meaning the score can arrive after the due date for at least some colleges. Colleges evaluate applications well after the application due date, so that makes sense. Some colleges with due dates on January 1 accept the January SAT, for example. It’s a relatively casual, informal process. The application itself, your transcript, and whatnot are relatively formal and should be your primary concerns.</p>
