UMassOnline Jennifer Brady I’ll make this brief because this story isn’t about going to college online. But it is about getting the SAT scores online that will have much to do with where students are accepted. Also, if you’re not a member of Gen Y – maybe you fit the profile of slightly older men and women attending UMassOnline – you’ll find this story remarkable. That’s because back in the day, as they say, the wait between the SAT exams and receipt of your score was interminable. And then all you got was two numbers: one for verbal and one for math.
