<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was wondering how the scores work, with regards to application deadlines?
It seems like to me that the last realistic SAT you can take would be the November one, or a rushed December one, because after that all the applications are due?
Unless I am mistaken and you can say that you will be taking a SAT in the future and reference that?
Also, about how long does it really take for SAT results to come out? What if they are rushed?
Also, does the Common App have a way to send scores or do I do it from the collegeboard controls?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Check the school’s admissions page. They list the deadlines for testing.</p>
<p>Depends if you are applying RD, EA, ED, etc. For most EA/ED, it will be too late. For RD, it depends upon the cutoff date. If the school’s cutoff date is 12/1, then you have to find out. If the cutoff is 1/1, then the December scores will be ready in time (assuming you indicate the school when you register for the test). </p>
<p>FYI: Don’t rush report the scores. It doesn’t get there any earlier. December tests are ready by Dec 20. Some schools with a 1/1 cutoff will accept January (or even February) testing. You need to check each school’s admissions page.</p>
