Hi all, I'm worried about the timeline for sending my SAT scores to my dream schools. Can someone tell me how long College Board usually takes to send out SAT scores?
Typically, College Board sends SAT scores to colleges about 10 days after your scores become available. However, if you forgot to select the colleges you want your SAT scores sent to on test day, the process might take a bit more time.
If you order your SAT score reports after test day, it usually takes around 1-2 weeks for College Board to process the order and send your scores. After that, the amount of time it takes schools to process the scores on their end can vary. Some schools are quick and process SAT scores within a few days of receiving them, while others can take upwards of a week.
So, in total, if you're sending SAT scores after taking the test, you should allow for anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks for the entire process. As always though, it's a good idea to send your scores as soon as possible to ensure they arrive ahead of your schools' application deadlines.
