I'm a bit stressed about how to send my SAT scores to colleges. Could someone explain the process to me? Thanks in advance!
No problem, I'm here to help! Sending your SAT scores to colleges is quite straightforward. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Log in to your College Board account at collegeboard.org. This is the account you created when you registered for the SAT.
2. Once you're logged in, find the section called "My SAT" or "SAT Scores" on your dashboard.
3. You'll see a list of your SAT scores. Choose the test date for the scores you want to send to colleges.
4. Click on "Send Scores" next to the relevant test date.
5. You'll now arrive at the score-sending interface. You can search for colleges by name or by the college's unique four-digit code. Add the schools you want to send your scores to by clicking the "Add" button next to each college's name.
6. Review your selected schools to make sure you're sending scores to the correct list of colleges.
7. Proceed to payment. The College Board charges a fee for each score report sent beyond the four reports included in your test registration. As of the 2024 application cycle, it's $14 per report. Fee waivers are available for eligible students, which can cover the cost of up to four additional score reports.
8. Confirm your order, and your scores will be sent electronically to the colleges you selected within 1-2 weeks.
A couple of things to consider:
- Some colleges allow you to self-report your test scores on your application. In that case, you don't need to send official score reports unless you're admitted and decide to attend that school.
- Keep in mind the application deadlines for your chosen colleges to ensure your scores arrive on time.
Good luck with your college applications!
