The College Board claims that sending scores early shows colleges that you're a very interested applicant. If you first take the SAT your junior year, then, should you go ahead and send that score to colleges you're particularly interested in?
It's true that some colleges do sometimes ask to see proof that an applicant sincerely wants to go to their school; this is called demonstrated interest. But this is something that usually comes into play after you've turned in your full application, usually as a way to move someone up on a waitlist. Typically, sending SAT scores early does not give you an edge. Similarly, it doesn't count as demonstrated interest. This is because if you send SAT scores to a college but haven't applied there yet, the admission staff will simply save them under your name in a general file until your application shows up.
And it's not only that. If you send your scores early and are planning to retake the SAT , you won't get the full benefit of Score Choice since you won't be able to compare your early score with ones from later tests you take. Save getting there early for the Harry Potter swag line. It will be no surprise to hear that official SAT score reports should get to your schools by their respective application deadline. In order to figure out what this means in terms of when to send your scores, let's go through the timing of everything that happens after you take the test.
I always hedge my bets, so I'd advise ordering test reports at least three weeks early for safety or, even better, as soon as you're done testing and know which schools you're applying to. If you are worried about beating deadlines, you can pay extra for the College Board's rush service.
Here are the pros and cons of doing so:. Recommendation: If your deadline is fast approaching, it might make sense to pay extra to buy yourself a little more time.
Just keep in mind that colleges might not see your scores any faster if their delivery preferences aren't set up for priority reports. Yes, sir—we have our very fastest messenger on it, sir. What happens to applications when SAT scores arrive late varies depending on each college's policy.
Some schools have a hard and fast rule: late application materials disqualify that applicant. In short, late test scores are a big gamble —you're essentially betting that your application won't be considered until further into the process and that therefore your SAT scores still have a chance to get there without issue.
For example, here's what Stanford University's admissions site warns in regard to test scores:. You should still send those scores. There's a chance that the scores will be seen at some point in the process. Finally, some schools judge applications on a case-by-case basis.
This means that an otherwise excellent application might be put aside until SAT scores arrive, while an application that is clearly not a good fit for the school will be rejected even before scores are received. A college is guaranteed to receive your SAT scores either when you select it during SAT registration or when you select it on the College Board website while ordering additional score reports.
Some university systems, such as University of California system, which has many campuses under one umbrella, share scores among campuses. The most likely reason your target college can't find your SAT score report is that you picked the wrong school's name on the form. If you registered for the four free reports, check your own score report to confirm that the colleges you put in are correct. If you ordered reports through the College Board website, log in to your account to double-check the colleges you selected.
A good rule of thumb is to wait three weeks after you send your SAT scores to check whether they've been received. Usually, this info is available on the college's application site, but in some cases colleges will contact you to let you know which application materials aren't in your file yet. If you get a notice from the college that your scores are missing, don't panic: often, it can take up to a few weeks for received application materials to be logged.
Chances are, the school has indeed received your scores but simply hasn't filed them yet. Feel free to call the admissions office and calmly and respectfully ask them to check whether your SAT scores have arrived or not. If your SAT scores don't turn up—either because they got lost in the mail, were somehow electronically derailed, or were simply misfiled— you can always resend your scores by ordering new ones through the College Board website.

Saddler, UCSD director of admissions.
The Office of Admissions also noted that the University of California reviews all applications based on now 13 holistic factors, ranging from GPA and number of honors courses to special talents, achievements, awards and academic accomplishments in light of life experiences.
