<p>Help! I called Stanford admissions and they said that scores that were sent out October 5 will be there in time for the November 1 deadline, but I heard that some schools give confirmation that ACT and SAT scores were received. Is this the case with all schools?</p>
<p>Stanford accepts Oct ACT for early action even if it arrives after Nov 1. If you are talking about the Sep ACT and you ordered it sent Oct 5, it should already be at Stanford. Your on-line application account with Stanford should show that score has been received. However, there is often a delay that can be up to a week or more between time a college actually receives a score and the time it reflects such receipt in your on-line application file.</p>
