I can understand why it is more cost-effective to provide the scores over the phone, can’t you? It takes a lot longer to print, collate, address, stamp all the scores for the entire US than it does to connect to a computer program.

When you call, all you’re getting is a computerized voice telling you the score (based on the numbers you keyed into the phone). It doesn’t entail human interaction. It doesn’t involve any prep or labor because the scores are already in the computer. That’s why you can get them on the phone sooner.

I guess the $8 fee might cover the cost of providing the voice software and additional phone lines as a courtesy for people who don’t want to wait.

If it weren’t for my son wondering if he was SCREWED for not scheduling frosh english comp, I might not have called for him. Who knows, or maybe it’s just interest.

Both of ours. Not just his. Really. We do talk. We love and trust each other. Really.
