I'm planning to apply to the Naval Academy, and I'm unsure how to ensure my SAT scores are sent correctly. Can someone explain how to list the Naval Academy to ensure my scores are received?
Sure, I'd happily explain how you can send your SAT scores to the Naval Academy! When you register for the SAT, you have the option to send your scores to up to four colleges for free. You can choose the Naval Academy as one of those institutions.
To send your scores to the Naval Academy, you'll need to know their College Board code. This code is unique to each institution and ensures your scores are sent correctly. The College Board code for the U.S. Naval Academy is "5809". When you're asked to enter the names or codes of the colleges you want to send your scores to, you can either search for "United States Naval Academy" or directly enter the code "5809".
You'll want to confirm you've entered the correct institution before finishing your test registration. If you've already taken the SAT and you want to send your scores after the fact, you can also do so through your College Board account. Keep in mind, however, there might be a fee associated with sending scores after your test date.
Remember to regularly check your application portal or get in touch with the admissions office to see if they've received your scores. It usually takes a few weeks for scores to be processed and sent. Keep in mind that you need to have your application to the Naval Academy by January 31st, so you should plan your SAT dates with this in mind. Good luck with your application process!
