<p>Roger, interested in a small test?</p>
<p>Check the websites of the first 50 universities on the USNews for this simple and most factual question"</p>
<p>"Should I RUSH my SAT scores for the test taken in November or December. Same for January"</p>
<p>Now, call the admission offices, and compare the answers. Oh. I'll save you a lot of time. You'd be lucky to have fewer that 15 wrong answers from the real people on a strictly factual piece of information.</p>
<p>Then comes the time of asking yourself WHY NYU or Harvard "say" that rushing the scores serves NO PURPOSE whatsoever since regular and rush scores are reported to them on a daily basis via electronic delivery, all the while others do request to use the RUSH option? Are those equally prestigious schools really treated differently by the big mean College Board and denied the benefit of electronic delivery? </p>
<p>And, again, this is about a factual question that also happens to be quite irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. How about trying the same exercise with a few more questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Does your school take a negative view on repeated SAT scores? How many is too many?</li>
<li>What do you do with the "new" Writing score.<br></li>
<li>Your school requires 2 Subject Tests. What happens if I have 5?</li>
<li>I live in Boston and I want to send ONLY the ACT. Is that recommendable?</li>
</ol>
<p>While the collective wisdom of many might NOT be better for factual questions, one still has to wonder if the party who was polled was also "up on things that just changed at HIS or HER particular institution." </p>
<p>I do understand the difference between rushing to this site INSTEAD of doing a modicum of individual research. As many others on this site, I routinely tell people to check directly with the schools, but I also add the less typical: ask them to confirm it in WRITING! Ensuring that your interlocutor is a knowledgeable officer does not sound like such a bad idea.</p>
