Help Please

Is he looking for the offical scores or just what the scores are. Can you bring up the SAT screen and "highlight" the information, "copy" (ctrl c) the page then "paste" (ctrl v) it into a email?

Hope that helps.

Did he also ask for your unoffical transcripts?

The way we did it to send SAT or ACT scores unofficially to a coach was one of the following....

If we had the SAT/ACT results by mail already we scanned the results page to a pdf file then attached the pdf file to an e-mail.

If it was a recent exam where scores were on-line but not mailed yet we pulled up the online scores and copied and pasted them to a word file then attached them to an e-mail.

It would be preferable to use the mailed scores rather than the online scores if you have received those in the mail already.

are official results needed for a official visit, or will copy and pasted results suffice?

Homerun, yes he did and I faxed them to him

I do not think "official" results are needed before an official visit. Unofficial results are typically sufficient for the coach but final results will be due to the admissions office to complete your application.

I believe you have to provide transcripts (just unofficial) before you can go on a official visit.

From Bylaw 13.6, referring to official visits:
(a) A high school or preparatory school prospective student-athlete must present the institution with a score from a PSAT, SAT, PLAN or ACT taken on a national testing date under national testing conditions, except that a state-administered ACT may be used to meet the requirement. The score must be presented through a testing agency document, on a high school or preparatory school academic transcript (official or unofficial) or through the use of the applicable testing agency’s automated-voice system.....
(b) A prospective student-athlete must present this institution with a high school (or college)academic transcript;
(c) A high school or preparatory school prospective student-athlete must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center;......

Thanks 3FG!

I know when we went through this with my son, the scores on his HS transcript where good enough. Check to see if your transcript shows these results. I would think most would.

Ours did not show on the HS transcript until the final, final HS transcript.... the beginning of senior year they were not showing on the HS transcript.

Fair enough. You know what they say about the word assume.

do you think colleges care about the tardys on the transcript?

This question about Tardies on a transcript reminds me of a tip I got when my kids were going through the process. Prior to their senior year, get a copy of the Official transcript sent to your home. Open it and make sure that everything on there is correct. With both of my kids, we found errors which we were able to get corrected easily - but which would have harmed their admissions chances.

Tardies should NOT be on an official transcript - nor IMO should SAT scores. Transcripts should reflect only the grades that the student has gotten in HS. When other information creeps on to the transcript, keeping it in sync is always an issue. Now that students have the ability to select which test scores are sent to which colleges, the last thing you want is for the HS to be sending other information that you are not planning to send.

What about a conviction for an axe murder - would that hurt?

Seriously, all the coach wanted was you to email him the score so he could see if you were recruitable (that he could get you past admissions). No need to send official copies until he says they want you.

And if you're worried about tardies now, just wait until your kid blows off class or is late to practice or a meeting in college...

College coaches need to have an official ACT or SAT score and a copy of your official high school transcript before you can make a visit.

........From the NCAA guides about official visits.


What I don't know is how you get an "official" score to the coach.

The 8th post in this thread quotes the actual rule regarding official visits, and it says exactly what the college needs, and in what form.
