If I understand you correctly, you are unable to send your newest scores until they are posted on collegeboard.com. You are fine for the four schools you already ordered. They will get not only your newest scores, but also the old ones. When you get your new scores you have choices. If your new score is higher overall in CR and M then you will want to send them to the UC’s left on your list. For most other schools you will want to make sure that the new scores can in some way raise your super score total, especially for CR and M. If your new scores will benefit you then send them. If I were you I would contact the schools by either email or a phone call to find out if you can just send your new scores via the regular method. The price is significantly higher to rush scores. Some schools have an internet method for receiving scores that is very quick (2 days) while other schools can take up to two weeks because they only accept snail mail. Calling and emailing to ask what to do will take time, just immediately rushing scores to all seven schools will be very expensive. I guess you need to decide what works best for you. I bet most schools will say that regular delivery is fine.

BTW-
You could have placed an order to have your scores sent to all of your schools when you registered for the December exam. After requesting the four free schools you would have just had to pay for the rest.
