<p>S accessed his Application Status page online at RPI & it shows OFFICIAL TEST SCORES not processed or received.</p>
<p>We never sent them from College Board . I assumed they would look at the test scores on his high school transcript .</p>
<p>Should I order test scores from College Board & send to RPI ?</p>
<p>No one contacted him by mail about it at all . I do not want to send if it’s not necessary . Can colleges access the test scores themselves - or do they have time to do it ???</p>
<p>Unless your child requested the “4 freebies” (Collegeboard allows scores to be sent for free to 4 colleges when a child registers to take the SAT), you must pay $9.00 per college to send his/her SAT scores to colleges.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but most colleges do not accept the SAT scores that appear on school transcripts.</p>
<p>I’d get on the collegeboard website pronto and have them sent.</p>
<p>One other thought - after you’ve had them sent (and it may take a little while), call the admissions office and tell them that you’ve done it, so they won’t drop the file as incomplete.</p>
<p>Chedva is right, but the phone call should come from the applicant, not the parent.</p>
<p>And if there are other schools to which your son has applied, you will want to have official scores sent to those schools also. If you never had College Board send his scores to the schools he applied to, NONE of them have those scores, not just RPI – some schools don’t have online tracking so you can’t easily tell whether they’re missing anything or not, and many of them are not proactive in telling applicants what’s missing, if anything: as Chedva suggests, they just drop the application as incomplete.</p>
<p>He might want to call the admissions offices to ask about whether to rush the scores to them or not: College Board will charge extra for that, but at this stage of application processing it might be necessary if he is to remain in the active applicant pool. (Yet some schools will tell you not to rush the scores.) Better to check with each of the schools he’s waiting to hear from, and then get those scores sent. Schools will not search out the official scores themselves, they expect applicants to have them sent.</p>
<p>Thanks . I took the chance and sent them to RPI . It seem that the minute they received them , everything fell into place . Now waiting on the decision …it’s funny as NYU or the State schools did not want Official Reports from college board …maybe the bigger mammoth Universities don’t have time to track them down. </p>
<p>NEXT QUESTION : WHEN DO WE SEND THE AP REPORT - RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION ??? Or can we send them what he has done already ???</p>
<p>Don’t bother to send an AP report. Unless they specifically request it, colleges don’t use this for application evaluation purposes, but for placement once a student decides to matriculate. Once he’s selected his school, that one school will probably want the official AP score report, to give him credit or placement in the right level of a required course. So in general, only send the AP scores to the one school he’ll be attending, this summer. Good luck to your son.</p>
<p>
Has your son verified this? That his app is complete? </p>
<p>Oh, I agree YOU shouldn’t call but if your son e-mails admissions it is very difficult for them to tell who is on the other end of the line. So to speak. If the situation arises. As it were. ;)</p>
