So, like, I've sent my SAT scores late, and I had to use the rush service. Does anyone know how long it takes for colleges to usually receive them this way?
Using College Board's Score Choice, the rush service does expedite the process of sending your SAT scores to colleges. Under normal conditions, it may take up to 1-2 weeks for colleges to receive your scores. With the rush service, however, this process is sped up, and colleges should receive your scores within 2-4 business days.
Keep in mind that even after your scores are received by the college, it might take a couple of days for them to be processed and added to your application. So, in total, expect the entire process to take around a week. It's a good idea to monitor the application portals for colleges you've applied to and possibly follow up with the admissions office if you don't see your scores reflected within a reasonable timeframe after the rush service's estimated delivery date. Good luck!
