Will sending ACT scores from multiple test dates cost significantly more?

Test Preparation

I’ve taken 3 ACTs: 31C (31E, 35M, 32R, 26S), 32C (36E, 31M, 26R, 34S), and December 2015 which I unfortunately haven’t gotten scores back from yet (I’m confident it’s no better than a 32 though because I messed up the reading section), but the two scores that I do have superscore to a 34.25 so I feel it would be to my advantage to send both to all of my colleges.

However, the ACT makes it much more complicated to send scores from multiple test dates than College Board because I have to send the score reports separately, so I’m wondering if I’m going to have to pay the $12 fee for each score that I send.

The colleges I’m applying to are Cornell, Princeton, UPenn, RPI, Northeastern, U of Rochester, Stony Brook, Binghamton, Tufts, and Syracuse and I want to send the two scores I know to all of them, plus I’m pretty sure I have to also send the December score to Cornell, Princeton, and Penn.

My problem is that this could end up costing upwards of $250-300 if I have to pay $12 for each report, so I don’t want to have to spend too much money considering I just spent $112.50 sending my SAT score of 2130 (620CR, 780M, 730W) to all of my colleges. Also, I’m not sure whether or not it makes a difference, but I self reported all of my scores on the Common App as well.

Yes, it will cost $12 per test per school to send score reports after the test. So

($12 * 2 tests * 10 schools) + ($12 * 1 test (Dec 2015) * 3 schools (Cornell, Princeton, Penn) = a lot of money.

(Just kidding, but that’s like $276, right? Ouch.) So yep, if you’re set on applying to ten schools, it’s going to cost you. You do have to send official reports even if you self reported on the Common App.

Why are you sending the two scores to all the schools instead of just the second score to those which don’t require all scores?

Thanks, I think I’m just going to send the 32 everywhere, and then the 31 to whichever schools superscore or consider the highest subsection, and then all 3 to the Ivies.
