How do I report SAT scores on the Common App?

Hey guys! Quick question: I'm about to start filling out the Common App, and I'm wondering how I should report my SAT scores. Do I self-report, send official reports from College Board, or both? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! When it comes to reporting SAT scores on the Common App, you have a few options. Firstly, you can self-report your scores in the "Testing" section of the Common App. This is where you provide your scores for each section (Math and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing), as well as the dates you received those scores. Make sure to enter your scores honestly and accurately.

However, self-reporting your scores isn't always enough. While some colleges will allow you to self-report your scores initially and only require an official score report if you're accepted, others may require you to send official score reports directly from the College Board up front. Be sure to check each college's specific requirements on their admissions website to ensure you're following their guidelines. You can order and send official SAT score reports by logging into your College Board account and paying a fee.

In summary, you should self-report your SAT scores on the Common App, and also make sure to send official score reports if they're required by any of the colleges you're applying to. It's essential to be aware of each college's unique requirements before submitting your application, so don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions office directly if you're unclear on a particular school's policy.

Good luck with your applications!
