What is up with NCSA?

chrissy, summer before last, my D sat down and had her SAT scores sent to all the colleges to which she figured she would be applying/auditioning. One was Boston Conservatory. Well, they didn’t get the scores, even though College Board sent them. I ended up having to call College Board, who verified that the scores were sent in August. I could have chosen to have CB “launch an investigation,” which would have taken weeks (BoCo, at least at that time, only accepted SAT scores via snail mail) or pay to resend the scores. I paid, because it seemed fruitless to “launch an investigation” into where a single piece of snail mail went. If NCSA has not gotten your kid’s scores and NCSA needs them (frankly, I think NCSA is like BoCo … the scores don’t count for much at all … I know some kids who are amazing actors but not very successful academic students who are studying there and are very happy and thriving!), I would resend them immediately if I were you. You don’t want any little detail gumming up the works.
