Although the scores don’t get to the students until weeks after the test administration, often they are sent to the university first and within a shorter period of time. Since most schools don’t send out their early admissions until mid-December, this is plenty of time for admissions officers. I read somewhere (though I can’t find it now) that the college board understands this problem and places an even greater emphasis on sending scores quickly to schools from tests taken in November to allow ample time for consideration. But again, it can vary with the school.
