Sending SAT scores! Was it late?

I sent ALL of my SAT scores including the October one to my early schools on October 29th through Collegeboard online. One of my early schools was University of Michigan and now that I check back with the school's website, it says all scores need to be received by November 1st. Considering that the regular service takes seven days, my scores probably arrived now, instead of Nov. 1. Will it affect my chances to my early schools? I thought the date I submitted the scores counted..not the date they were arriving on. HELP! and Thanks in advance.

**** WAAIT, it takes a week for SAT scores to be sent to colleges right?

My guess is that asking Michigan directly would yield the most reliable response.

I saw on the college board website that it takes "approximately 4 weeks" for SAT scores to be delivered to the college you requested them to be sent to. I was very surprised it took that long. I had not remembered seeing that before, so maybe a backlog occurs at the college board around this time of year. The EA school my daughter needed the scores reported to said that it's okay for the scores to arrive in the next few weeks, after its Nov. 2nd deadline, so we were lucky and didn't have to use the $27 "rush" delivery.
