<p>I have submitted Dec SATs today (DEC 29th) although I was planning to take January SAT.</p>
<p>I want to ask you CCers that "Do the admissions officers get bad impression on you if your test scores are not there yet, although you said on your application that you'll be taking JAN SAT?"</p>
<p>I called Duke to find this out and what they told me is that "send December score you have. We'll mark your application as INCOMPLETE if your test scores are not there since SATs are required. But we'll still evaluate at a later date when we receive your score."</p>
<p>You guys think I'll be at a disadvantage if I wait until January SAT result is sent out to the colleges? I pondered over this and I kind of thought to myself that if you are the last person to be evaluated because of your incomplete SAT scores, then you are more likely to get rejected than if your application is evaluated at an earlier time.</p>
<p>What do you guys think???</p>
