A question about January scores!

Applying to College
1

<p>Do I still have to send earlier scores if the universities I am appling to accept January scores?</p>

2

<p>No. 10char</p>

<p>actually it depends on the school. Some schools participate in score choice and some do not and require all scores</p>

<p>Thanks!
So if the school participates in score choice it is possible for me not to send any scores with the application and then send those from January when they are in??</p>

5

<p>^Yes. They know those taking the test at a later date will send their scores later.</p>

<p>Why not send the earlier scores? They know that other scores will be coming, but your file may just be fine without doing score choice. Plus, having a complete application file early seems like a good choice.</p>

<p>There is a lag before the Jan scores will be arriving at your college admissions office. </p>

<p>In fact, it’s a January 22nd test…the colleges won’t be getting those scores in till mid-February. </p>

<p>What is the deadline you are applying for admission? If it is a rolling admission school and there is no deadline, it may not be a big deal. But if your school is a January 1 deadline and they now don’t get your scores for 6 weeks (or later), wouldn’t that worry you? </p>

<p>Also, the earlier you get admitted, the earlier you get in the financial aid line, if you need it. JMO.</p>

<p>Thank you for your answers!
SamuraiLandshark, you are right. I am just concered that the college I want will see my 640 CR, which is low compared to my math and writing sections and this could make a bad impression or something like that and I know i can improve the score.</p>

<p>^If they allow January scores, they are used to waiting for January scores.</p>

<p>They MAY be used to waiting for January scores, but that doesn’t mean that particular applicant will have an advantage in the admissions process.</p>

<p>a 640 CR is nothing to sneeze at. What is the mid-range of scores for the college?</p>

<p>640/660/650 The mid 50% for Emory. As far as I know mostly minorities are accepted with similar or lower scores so i am a bit concerned</p>
