<p>okay im really confused</p>
<p>so we just tell cb to mail the score reports</p>
<p>but how does the college know which scores belong to who???</p>
<p>by social security # ???</p>
<p>if they had the scores for over a month, what does the admissions office do with them??</p>
<p>I don;t think most schools accept mailed transcripts.
But still, if they do, there will be names on the email, and presumably, on the transcript?</p>
<p>I’m not sure I understand the question.</p>
<p>You request that CB sends scores. Many colleges accept them electronically, they snail mail the others. That report has all your data on there, your name, yes…ss# if you provide it, address, etc. etc.</p>
<p>So, when the college receives this submission, they “match up” the data. I would think they’d START with your SS#, since that’s completely unique to you. Then I’m GUESSING that they’d verify the name, address, etc. Some kids didn’t use their SS # on their tests, that presents more of a problem in matching, and can cause small glitches.</p>
<p>I’m guessing you’re saying that you requested scores sent a month ago, and the college isn’t showing it received? I’m sure there are a number of reasons, and I’m guessing all you can do is phone or e-mail and ask them the status. But, at this busy time, you’ll probably hear “Don’t worry…we’ll get to it as soon as we can”. </p>
<p>For example, let’s say you applied Regular Decision, at a school that is currently working Early Decision applications (you didn’t go into detail). So your application would probably be put aside a bit. That said, you do still want to continue your follow up to ensure all materials are received.</p>
<p>Remember that it probably took a week for CB to process your request, then…if snail mail…a week to receive it. Then it probably goes unopened a few days to a week. Then gets on a data entry clerk’s desk the next week. Then put aside if it’s a regular decision applicant. Etc. I wouldn’t worry, just stay on top of it. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
