ACT Score Report

I made a very last minute decision to apply to Columbia after debating it for a couple months. I went to send my ACT score report today and there is a delay and they won’t be sent out until January 3rd. Will this be a huge problem? I already paid to have it sent and I sent in my application. I read somewhere that it doesn’t really matter as long as you send it before the deadline. Can anyone help ease my worrying?

Columbia allows the self reporting of scores and official reports are only required If you choose to matriculate so it will make no difference But generally you have time after the deadline for official scores to be received
