Hi everyone! I need to send my SAT scores to colleges, but I'm not sure how much time it takes for them to receive them. How long does it usually take for SAT scores to be sent to colleges? Any info would be appreciated!
Hi there! The time it takes to send SAT scores to colleges can vary depending on whether you choose the regular or rush reporting option. Under the regular reporting method, it generally takes about 10 calendar days for your SAT scores to be sent from the College Board to the colleges you've designated. Remember that this does not account for the time it takes for the college to process the scores once they've received them, which typically takes a few more days.
If you're in a hurry or have a deadline approaching, you can opt for the rush reporting option, which sends your SAT scores to colleges within 2-4 business days. However, this option does come with an additional fee.
To avoid any complications, it's best to send your scores as early as possible, preferably at least three weeks before the college's application deadline. This should allow ample time for the college to receive and process your scores. Good luck with your applications!
