Sending SAT scores before submitting applications

Hey guys, I'm a little confused about the SAT score submission process. Is it possible to send SAT scores to colleges before I actually submit my application? Would that cause any problems or confusion with admissions?

Hey there! Yes, you can send your SAT scores to colleges before submitting your application. In fact, many students choose to send their scores early to ensure that they reach the colleges on time. Doing so won't cause any problems or confusion.

When you send your SAT scores through the College Board, they will create a file for you at the respective colleges. Once you submit your application, the admissions office will match the SAT scores and other materials you've sent, such as letters of recommendation and transcripts, to your application.

To send your SAT scores, log into your College Board account and follow the steps for sending your scores to the colleges you have decided on. You can also send up to four score reports for free if you select the colleges within nine days of taking the test. After that, there will be a fee per score report, unless you qualify for a fee waiver.

It's important to keep the deadline for submitting test scores in mind. Make sure you send your scores well before the deadline for each college you are applying to, as it can take about 10 days to 2 weeks for the scores to be received and processed.

Best of luck with your college applications!
