Hey guys, so I took my SAT and now I'm looking into sending my scores to the colleges I'm applying to. Can anyone tell me how much it usually costs to send SAT scores to each college? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The cost to send SAT scores to colleges is $14 per score report sent to each individual college or university. When you take the SAT, you're allowed to send four score reports for free to colleges or universities of your choice if you select the recipients within the nine days after taking the exam. If you miss this window or want to send scores to more than four schools, you'll need to pay the $14 fee for each additional score report.
Keep in mind that many colleges now allow you to self-report your test scores on your application, and you'll only need to send official score reports if you're accepted and decide to attend that school. Self-reporting can save you some money during the application process. However, be sure to double-check each college's specific requirements regarding self-reporting versus sending official score reports.
Finally, if you received a fee waiver for the SAT, you will be able to send unlimited score reports for free. Good luck with your applications!
