<p>I took the OCTOBER 2004 SAT
now i want to send my score to colleges
if i send it regular ONLINE
how long will it take for the colleges to recieve it?!</p>
<p>3-4 weeks, as is stated on collegeboard.com</p>
<p>FYI: Some schools claim that you shouldn’t rush, as the scores won’t arrive any faster…but that wasn’t the case for son whose application was incomplete because he didn’t rush them.</p>
<p>whatever you do, do not rush scores</p>
<p>Why? I just rushed all my scores to the colleges that I’m applying to! Am I doomed?</p>
<p>no. it’s just a scam…they don’t get there any faster. </p>
<p>Columbia asks that you not rush scores at all, interestingly.</p>
<p>But I don’t understand that…if one gets there in a 3-4 days, and the other gets there in 3-4 weeks, why wouldn’t you rush if you need it there fast?</p>
<p>Rushed scores do get to colleges faster, and some will tell you to rush. However, some colleges have access to the collegeboard database and don’t need you to rush the scores.</p>
<p>There’s quite a contrast between “rushed” SAT scores, which cost a lot more and can still take a long time to get there and rushed ACT scores, which cost only a few dollars more and get there within a few days. The contrast makes me think that rushing SATs makes little sense but rushing ACTs is a good idea if you’re near a deadline or you want to get a late-decision file opened–which was the case for us. We did it for one school with my son’s ACTs but skipped it with the SATs.</p>
<p>We rushed to one school, and it arrived there 3-4 days later, then languished in their mailroom for 2 weeks.
This was a state U, and it seemed they lost several parts of ap</p>
