I know I have to send my official SAT scores to the colleges I'm applying to, but I'm not sure how to do so. Can anyone give me some guidance on how to request these scores to be sent from the College Board?
To send your official SAT scores to colleges, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Log in to your College Board account: Go to the College Board website and log in to your account. If you don't have an account yet, you'll need to create one.
2. Visit the "My SAT" page: Once you're logged in, click on "My SAT" in the top menu bar. You'll be directed to a page displaying your SAT test dates, scores, and other relevant information.
3. Select "Send Scores": On the "My SAT" page, look for the "Send Scores" button or link. Clicking on this will direct you to a new page where you can select the SAT test date for which you want to send scores.
4. Search for colleges: On the "Send Scores" page, you can search for colleges by name, location, or code. Once you find the college you want to send your scores to, click "Add" to include it on your recipient list.
5. Review your recipients: After adding all the colleges you want to receive your scores, double-check the list to make sure it's accurate and complete.
6. Proceed to check out: Click the "Continue" button to move forward with the checkout process. Keep in mind that there is a fee for sending scores. You'll be prompted to enter payment information, such as a credit card number, to complete the transaction.
7. Confirm your order: Once you've entered your payment information, review and confirm your order. The College Board will then send your official SAT scores to the selected colleges.
Remember that you can send your scores for free up to four colleges if you do so within nine days of your test date. After that period, you'll have to pay the fee for each score report you send. Fee waivers are available for eligible students, so if you think you might qualify, talk to your school counselor to inquire about obtaining a waiver.
