do I HAVE to rush score when alppying Early Decision?

<p>I’m retaking OCT SAT, and applying college ED. According to Collegeboard, it takes 1-2 weeks to send the scores to college. I’m worried that the college will receive the score later than the ED deadline(11/1). Should I rush the OCT SAT score?</p>

<p>The colleges will tell you what test date is timely for early decision. Check the college Web sites or email the admission office. The college representatives I have heard asked this question say that it is NOT helpful to rush scores–rushed scores often arrive at the same time, no earlier, as scores given regular processing.</p>
