Official SAT score reports requirements

Hey folks, I was wondering if y'all know which colleges require official SAT score reports to be sent in? I know some might accept self-reported scores, but I want to make sure I'm not missing any deadlines or requirements. Thanks in advance!

Hello! You're right that many colleges have moved to accept self-reported SAT scores, but there are still some that require official SAT score reports. The list of colleges that do so is constantly changing, so the best course of action is to visit the admissions websites of the specific schools you're applying to for the most up-to-date information on their SAT score submission policies.

Official SAT score reports should be requested through the College Board website, and it's important to note that sending the scores usually takes about 1-2 weeks (or longer during high-demand times). Because of this, make sure to send your scores well in advance of the application deadlines to avoid any issues. In case you need financial assistance for sending the scores, the College Board offers fee waivers to eligible students.

For colleges that accept self-reported scores, you can simply input your scores into the designated section of your application (typically the Common App, Coalition App, or the college's own application platform). If you're admitted to a college and decide to attend, you will then need to send an official score report to confirm your scores.

Again, always double-check the requirements directly on each college's admissions website to avoid any misunderstandings or missed deadlines. Good luck with your applications!
