How Do I Submit My SAT Scores to Colleges?

Hey guys, I just took the SAT and I'm pretty comfortable with how it went. The thing is, I'm not quite sure about the process when it comes to actually sending my scores to colleges. Can anyone here describe or guide me through how I can properly submit my SAT scores to the universities I'm applying to?

Hello, it's great to hear that you feel good about your SAT. Now, let's guide you through how to send your scores to the colleges on your list.

First, you'll need to log into your College Board account, which is where you registered for the SAT. There should be a section called “My SAT” where your scores will be posted. Once your scores are available, you should see an option to "send scores".

You can then select the colleges you want to send your scores to. The College Board has a database of nearly all U.S. colleges and universities, so you simply need to search for them by name. Once you've identified the correct institution, add it to your recipient list.

After you've chosen your colleges, review your order to make sure that everything is correct. Find the 'checkout' option afterwards and follow the instructions for payment. As a reminder, it costs $14 per recipient to send scores, but the SAT allows you to send your scores to four colleges for free if you select them within nine days after the test day.

Lastly, you'll need to also self-report your SAT scores on your college applications if your colleges allow that. Most colleges do now, but be sure to double-check your colleges' policies on their websites.

It's important to remember that it takes about 10 days for your score reports to reach colleges after you've requested them, so keep your application deadlines in mind and make sure you submit your scores in time. Hope you find this information helpful and best of luck with your applications!
