How long does it take colleges to receive SAT scores?

Answer 1

SAT scores typically become available online to students about 19 days after they take the SAT. At the time scores become available online, students can ask the College Board to mail the scores to a college, either on a rush or regular basis. There is an extra charge of about $27 for sending the scores on a rush basis. According to the website of the College Board, it takes the College Board about 5 weeks to mail an SAT score to a college if regular delivery is requested. If rush delivery is requested, the scores are mailed in two days. After the scores are mailed, it could take another five days or so for the colleges to receive them.

Answer 2

Depending on whether you apply for early action, early decision or are in the regular decision applicant pool, admissions offices take time to carefully review applications and student profiles. Thus, the time could take anywhere from 1 week to a full year. After all, many schools receive thousands of applications.

Answer 3

College applications can take anywhere from thirty minutes to a few days to complete. It all depends on the questions on the application, but most applications last about an hour or two. Usually you can save your progress and finish the application at a later time if you start to get tired of filling it out, but just be aware of the application deadline.

Answer 4

Each college will have their own timeline. For example, they might accept applications from Sept 1 Thru Dec 15 and send out replies between Feb.21 and Feb 28. So its not really a question of processing time, you can't say it should take three weeks. Check with the college's admissions dept. to see how they do it and their timing.

Answer 5

It depends on the school and if it's "open," "closed," "private," or "public". Open and public schools are relatively quick and take a few months to get a letter of acceptance from. Private closed schools usually require an interview and they'll tell you in the interview how long it will take--usually a month or two after the interview is done. It's best to apply as early as possible--the earlier you apply, the quicker you get a response. Apply in the fall of the year you expect to graduate.

Answer 6

Generally speaking, it takes about five weeks.

Answer 7

It depends on the college and the time you apply. Every institution has its own time-frames when sending out acceptance and rejection letters.
