In summary, you can send your SAT scores to any college even if they don't know you are applying yet. However, it is important to note that you have not taken the SAT exam yet, and will do so on June 3.

While registering for the SAT exam I had the option to send my SAT scores to 4 colleges. I have not yet started applying for college, so can I send my SAT scores to any college even though the college doesn't know that I'm applying?

Can I send my SAT scores to colleges after I apply?

Do colleges prefer official SAT scores or self-reported scores?
