Hi, I'd like to send my AP scores to a couple of universities I'm applying to. From your experience, how long does it typically take for the college board to send the scores after I request them?
Hi there! Once you've requested your AP scores to be sent from the College Board, it typically takes about 7-10 days for the colleges to receive them. Keep in mind that this is an average processing time, and it could potentially take slightly longer during peak periods such as right after scores are released or closer to college application deadlines.
To avoid any delays, it's a good idea to request your scores to be sent as soon as possible. Make sure to double-check each university's requirements regarding self-reporting AP scores versus sending official score reports, as some institutions may be fine with self-reporting initially and only require official score reports upon enrollment.
In case you're worried about your scores reaching the universities on time, it's always a good idea to follow up with the admissions offices of the individual colleges to confirm that they've received your scores. Best of luck with your application process!
