Sending in SAT Scores

LSkaiWalk · 10-26-2009, 09:23 PM

So, I'm actually applying ED.

I havn't sent in my scores yet, even though I took it in June.

Do we even have to send them in? I know we don't send in the transcripts til they request it.

Or, do they have to be in by the time of the application deadline (3 days?)

So, should I spend the extra $27 and rush ship it tomorrow? Or should I do the regular shipping when I send it in tomorrow and everything will be good?

Just making sure.

Please respond if you know, thanks!

You NEED to send the score in, just order it now. I don't think you need to rush. For ACT, Cal poly recevied it electronical weekly. Not sure about SAT, you'll find out it's electronically or mail when order them.

Early Decision applicants need to have test scores by October 31st. Regular Decision applicants need to have taken tests by the November test date.

Ok, if what they mean is receiving the score by 10/31. I doubt you'll make the deadline even by rushing, since rushing is not necessary fast in case of SAT. You'd better call CalPoly tomorrow.

From the Cal Poly Application Info Website. I'm pretty sure they don't want them until they ask for them.

It's going to take a few weeks for Cal Poly to receive test scores.

LSkaiWalk · 10-26-2009, 11:44 PM

to recieve mine? or everyones?? am i good?!?

KoreanBoi92 · 10-27-2009, 12:09 AM

everyone's. As long as you send them before the ED deadline, you're fine.

I'm kind of lost. Should I rush my scores in or just send it regularly? I definitely don't want to miss any sort of non-written deadline. I just spent an hour scouring the website for anything about when to send test scores, but I could not find anything. I don't want to send them if its too early, like transcripts where they'll view it as a mistake on my application for sending it too soon.

wait if we sent our sat scores to csu mentor that counts as sending it to cal poly right?

Zungra, you don't need to worry about sending score early. DD send her ACT score early Oct to Cal Poly even before she had her CSUmentor account. She opened the account mid Oct. Last week, we saw her score in the CSU system thru ACT score manager already. She hasn't finished her application yet.

For ACT score, since you can only send to individual campus, it takes 2-4 weeks for CSU system to get the score from the campus you original sent to, then you can release to other campus. So you'd better be early than late.

Edit: regarding your post #5, test score is NOT supporting document. It's a required item like your application.
