Why should I send my scores early?

<p>Hey guys, I have a question.
The CollegeBoard says I can send my scores to 4 schools. I am going to be a Junior in my 2010-2011 school year. I feel like I did pretty well on the SAT II Bio, so should I send it to the schools I want to apply for? And why would I want to send my scores so early? Can't I just send the scores when I'm applying for colleges when I'm a senior?</p>

<p>I am wondering about this to, if anyone would care to elaborate.</p>

<p>Im a senior…im wondering about this as well. How does this help me??? Could somebody please help??</p>

<p>Bump, please anyone there are four of us now lol</p>

<p>Do not send your scores early. You will not be able to use Score Choice later to hide any that have already been sent, and the only advantage to sending them early is financial.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh, can we say that now? :)</p>

<p>Yes we can…(ew…, bho)</p>

<p>@Silverturtle- Yep!! I can atleast!! Im from India and our school year starts early…I graduate in March 2011 :slight_smile:
Bdw…iv seen you everywhere on cc!!You have 6810 posts…are you still in high school??</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m a rising senior.</p>

<p>what does sending the scores early mean anyway?? Do they send them right now or what??</p>

<p>^Collegeboard will send it as soon as the result comes out, which is considered “early”. If you wait until you get your score back to request a score report to college, it’s going to take about three more weeks for it to go through.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot xrcalico23! That cleared it up! :)</p>

<p>Yes, I agree with silverturtle. Unless you are positive you are going to get a high score or something, then I wouldn’t send them. Why an underclassmen (as in not about to apply to college) would send scores to colleges is beyond me, unless you know where you will be applying.</p>

<p>Sometimes colleges will think that you’re interested in them if you send your scores early. I personally wouldn’t do that; i would rather see what i got first.</p>

<p>I noticed someone said don’t send them because then you wouldn’t be able to use score choice later on to hide certain scores, but what if whatever schools you apply to require you to submit all scores? Then does it really matter whether you send them now or later?</p>

<p>I think I might hold off because I only took 1 subject test. When I take the SAT then I’ll send them</p>

<p>oh? can u send your subject test scores with the reasoning then? I mean, the 4 free score reports still apply to your subject tests too when your sending them for the reasoning?</p>

<p>^ can someone confirm? I hope soo…</p>

<p>HEy!! I just got this weird idea.
You get 4 free score reports with your SAT 2 . You get 4 free score reports with ur Reasoning (SAT 1).
So in total you get EIGHT Score reports free???huh? Is that possible?
And please could somebody answer the previous doubt?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, but the free report recipients must be chosen within a short amount of time after taking the test. (I believe you have until June 14 to pick recipients for the June 5 test) Since the first reports you send won’t have later scores on them, so you might have to send them again to the same schools after the second tests. For example, if you take the SATs in March and the SAT IIs in June, your March score reports obviously won’t have your June subject test scores on them. So if College X requires SAT IIs, you might as well wait till June to send your score reports to College X. The June report will include both June subject test scores and March SAT I’s (unless you chose to hide them using Score Choice). </p>

<p>As Silverturtle said, the main advantage to using the free reports is financial – each report outside the free period costs $9.50 per school. That can add up!</p>

<p>Hmmm. I have until tomorrow to decide (June 14, for the June 5th test)…
I pretty sure I’m not going to use the free score reports because I only took the subject test for world history. I’ve never take the SAT so I’ll just wait until after I take that and then send all of them.</p>

<p>I plan to take the SAT in December and I will get the free score reports then, right?</p>
