When will the college receive my scores?

Colleges receive ACT score reports according to the reporting schedule they request, at least every two weeks. For that reason, score reports requested at the same time may be sent to different colleges at different times. Some colleges may receive scores only electronically. Those colleges might not review priority reports. Other colleges may receive paper reports sent by first-class mail and delivered within a few days. It is not unusual, however, for there to be some time between when a college receives your report and when the scores are added to your admissions file.
