@evergreen5 It usually doesn’t take that long but sometimes it does. This happened to us. Officially the CB says if the SAT scores are sent electronically then allow 1 to 2 weeks. If they are mailed you must allow 2 to 4 weeks. This depends on the individual college’s policy with the CB not on the student’s preference. The scores are often batched for specific colleges and the school rep accepts them in batches thereby delaying some scores. Unofficially, some scores are under a day and some take the full time. The total time is a month or less so not a concern in most cases. If one is getting close to deadlines order early and/or choose to rush scores.
@homerdog some colleges send emails with what is missing, others have the admissions counselor call to tell you your application is complete and in review, others post on the portal (if you have one) about getting everything or not. For us it has been all of these
@homerdog If you or your child logs into his/her college board account, go to my SAT, click on one of the dates they took the test, there are a couple of tabs above the score and the tab all the way to the right says score sends. Click on that and you can see where all of the colleges you picked For college board to send for free as well as the ones that you pay the $12 to send it to colleges that you applied to. It will say awaiting fulfillment , or sent and the date, or if it’s blank it may be that you just ordered it and it’s processing. All of the colleges we requested scores to be sent to show up except for that one. It’s not on the list at all. And college board acknowledges this but then drops the ball and does nothing so I keep calling and it’s like they’ve never talk to me. It is so annoying I can’t even tell you.
@cakeisgreat that is frustrating. Sorry this is happening to you all. I have no advice since they don’t even have it listed
@cakeisgreat thx! They all say “fulfilled” so I suppose that means they were all sent.
@homerdog excellent! Same for S19 except for that one.it just isn’t there…This never happened before with my other two kids.
I would not care at all If it just never went through. But they took my 12 bucks and I’m not paying another 12 bucks for their mistake. 
@momtogkc You will have to call Clemson. They do not have a portal and do not send out emails regularly.
D19 got a fee waiver and special application for her likely-admit school so we are working on her application. She’s recycling a school essay for the writing sample since her full CA essay isn’t ready (full disclosure: it’s still in the outline stage). Scores already sent in June as part of her four free sends. I just discovered that we have to request transcripts to be sent via Parchment, and it costs $3.75 for an electronic send. Not a big deal obviously, but I was surprised that one is charged for one’s own transcript and an electronic send. I was clueless before and thought it would be done in-house and not through a third party vendor who would charge. Is this standard procedure for most high schools?
The counselor needs to provide a secondary school report form, which is the thing that will slow us down. I’ve been telling myself I would lie low and not bug the counselor until next week (school started this week). I really want to hit the sweet spot on her productivity between the start of the school year chaos and the arrival of November, the month when the entire state applies to the UCs. So September and October are key for us to get documents out of her.
Meanwhile, the long wait for D19 to write a word of the CA essay continues. Thankfully, her senior year load is clearly going to be much lighter than junior year was. I think back to even the first three weeks of junior year and how every Friday felt like a huge relief, even that early in the school year. This year the story is much different and she’s planning to enjoy the first home football game of the year tonight. Much different vibe than a year ago – thank goodness. I don’t think we could survive too many junior years. I do have twinges of worry that the rigor of her senior year schedule is below what it could/should be, but with our school’s trimester 5 classes at a time schedule and some lingering graduation requirements, we would’ve had to go the online route and summer classes route to include another AP class or two, so she’s got her 2 APs this year and the rest is pretty light, and so be it. At least I have a more lighthearted kid. Hopefully that serves her well in creating content for college apps!
I think it’s really interesting that so many schools suddenly now allow self-reporting - I didn’t notice this last time I looked.
^^^^ I agree. I feel like when I looked 8-10 months ago, none of the schools on D19’s list did, or Harvey Mudd just announced they were going to, and now, as best I can tell 6 of her 8 schools definitely permit self-reporting, and I’m not clear on the 7th. Only her 8th school – the public university that’s on her list – requires an official score report, and considering that the admission is entirely score-based, that is not surprising.
Flagler College allows for self reporting of grades, but requires an official transcript upon acceptance.
I pulled the trigger and decided to send 8 ACT scores for my S19’s June test (and not both June and February). It will be interesting to see what happens next and if we see anything different once they start to receive the scores. He did receive an app fee waiver yesterday from one of the colleges, but I think that was already in the “works.”
For planning purposes, please note there’s a message on the ACT site that they are doing maintenance for a good amount of time beginning next week so scores will not be processed during that time. Here’s the message:
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE NOTIFICATION: Requests for sending scores submitted after 12 noon (central) August 29 through September 4 cannot be processed until September 5. If you have an upcoming deadline, you may want to contact your college or scholarship agency to make arrangements due to the additional processing time.
@cakeisgreat I’m so glad I asked this question and you responded. I am on hold w/ College Board right now. My first score send doesn’t show on the list, and that was sent 8/11/18. I didn’t know I could even look and see this list, thanks a bunch! The CS person saw that I had ordered it but when she tried to show me by logging in, even she could see that the school in question is not on the list.
So I kinda chewed her out, because I ordered this two weeks ago, and should have been sent already. I told her everything on my end is paid up, etc. so I expect them to do their duty and quickly. She mumbled something about a batch number, but I don’t need that I need them to get those scores sent.
So everybody, please stay on top of your score sends, because CB doesn’t really care, they are the only ones who can report scores and the know that.
@jellybean5 I am so glad I could help out! Sorry you’re going through this too. Make sure you stay on top of the customer service, because they told me the same thing, that they were going to take care of it and we were going to get an email with a confirmation…ha! never received that email. And they never took care of it. I just put a dispute on my AMEX card. And then I’m going to re-order. But seriously it’s so frustrating this should not happen!
By the way, my score send that did not show up was August 11 as well so I wonder if it had to do with that day…maybe there was a glitch.
Good luck to those kiddos who are taking SAT tomorrow!
Mine goes in for the SAT physics subject test without prep. oh well.
Course schedule came out and there was a drama. ;-(
I’ve been awol for a long time - just sent hubby to the school so he could deliver DD her ID for the SAT this morning. Arg.
@cakeisgreat You might be right about 8/11/18 being a glitch day. I don’t know why they can’t just refund our $12 and we place a new order which would probably show up right away. Who has time for this?!
son19 just came from SAT subject test taking. Said he did fine, so that works. He’s not one of those 800 kind of test takers,. As long as he did “fine”" I think he’ll be satisfied. So he might be done with test taking, unless he wants to try the SAT one more time. I don’t think he really needs to. He’d probably have to study quite a bit to do any better really, and I just don’t see that happening with his Fall schedule. I think he is relieved to be done with all of that. I could see it on his face when he came home.
@RightCoaster Wow- your S got out of there quick. In our neck of the woods, the kids get there before 8, but then there is a lot of proctor dilly dallying, so they don’t start test taking until close to 9!
@RightCoaster He can use 4 free test reports to send to Likely schools.
S19 is not back yet, but if he says “fine,” I am going to send the scores to 4 Likely schools.
@wisteria100 Yeah, some don’t start till 9 especially when there are hundreds of kids.
Hubby reports that today’s drop off was quite chaotic with people cutting in lines, and even some coming into the circle wrong way. 
@2019hope Once I walked with S17 into the SAT site (that was when I myself took the test) and sure enough, he forgot his ID. We walked back to our car, got my phone, logged into Infinite Campus, found his class schedule page with his photo shown, and showed it to the proctor teacher. Fortunately, she eagerly accepted it and allowed S17 in. Otherwise, he would not have made it as it was over 20 minute drive back home.
