I requested a score report to be sent on 10/17 and it is still pending…?
bump
Apparently there is some issue with college board- they are working very hard to get everything out and are well aware of the Nov1 deadline… CB has now emailed all of the colleges to where scores have been ordered sent to to inform them of the delay… If your scores aren’t sent by today, I would email the admissions rep and tell them of your situation. But keep checking hourly bc my son’s (and many others who had submitted Oct 15-22) had theirs sent last night. CB will refund any rush orders bc they weren’t sent within 2 days…
@runswimyoga did you rush your son’s scores?
How long does it take for the college to get the SAT scores using regular shipment and not rush shipment?
@APScholar18 , how do you know your scores are pending? Did you see it somewhere on collegeboard? Or do you just know because it hasn’t been updated for your college?
@Xboxgamergirl it says under sent scores.
On the College Board website you can see sent scores… go to my scores and right by the blue highlighted part that says “send scores” well in lighter blue it says “see sent scores” click on that … My sons says University of Maryland is still pending…
Thanks! Mine are pending as well. Do you know how long it takes for the score to GET to the college?
We also called UMD an they haven’t received them either. We called College Board and they don’t know what is wrong just keep saying they are working hard to send them out and have a bunch going out tomorrow (they say this everyday) … they will refund your money bc it is their issue but I just want them to send the scores and so far they aren’t sent yet… aghhh we actually paid twice once on Oct 19th and again on Oct 25 for rush scores both say still pending…
here is an email we received from CB:
Dear Student,
Processing of rush SAT® score report orders placed on or after Oct. 15, 2015, is taking longer than expected, and your scores are among a set that have not yet been sent to universities. We will deliver score reports as soon as possible. For colleges that allow self-reporting on their applications, you can view your scores online and report them directly.
We are reaching out to colleges with early action/early decision deadlines of Nov. 1 to make them aware of the situation, and we are encouraging them be flexible should scores arrive late.
If you ordered your score reports for rush delivery on or after Oct. 15, you will receive a refund of the $31 fee if your order was not fulfilled within two business days from the time your order was placed. Please allow 5–10 business days for the credit to appear on your credit card or PayPal account.
We recognize the importance of timely score delivery and apologize for the inconvenience.
The College Board
The scores arrive instantaneously once College Board sends them. At that point the college has set times that they check and retrieve scores … UMD said they do it hourly. From what I understand software then takes your score and matches it to your application file.
Thanks, I got the email as well. I really hope this doesn’t effect my decision. I am applying to a safe school, and later on if I get a letter that says that I got deferred- I’m just going to be so mad.
OHHH! So if they send it tomorrow, my college will receive it tomorrow as well?
From what I understand its not just affecting rush scores its every score requested from Oct 15th on. CB has gotten many out and I think most of the ones from the oct sitting of the SAT?.. They say they are trying to get them all out by tomorrow but I really doubt it. I would call your admission dept of the school and check what to do.
I don’t understand how it is that hard to get them out… I mean it is electronic for most colleges…
Yeah, I agree. But its probably something to do with system.overload on the computers.
@XBoxgamergirl Yes IF they send them tomorrow your college WILL receive them tomorrow… They said to call CB if your scores still say pending by tomorrow at 4pm 866 756-7346
Still pending.
