<p>hi daniel,</p>
<p>my question is, does JHS accept SAT scores taken in november if the applicant is applying ED? i mean if i send the score before the end of november, will that be okay? thanks!</p>
<p>"Johns Hopkins strongly recommends that Early Decision (ED) candidates complete their required standardized tests no later than October of their senior year. Regular Decision (RD) candidates should complete the required tests no later than December of their senior year.</p>
<p>Although we cannot guarantee that November (ED) or January (RD) scores will arrive before the Admissions Committee evaluation, past experience suggests that scores taken on these dates usually arrive in time."

<p>okay, but will that be at my disadvantage? i can imagine the admissions officers giving more attention (or credit) to the applicants who finish taking the tests by october.</p>
<p>my guess is that it depends on your scores from nov. i mean if you don't score higher, it doesn't matter when they get there. if you do, then they don't guarantee they'll review them if they are from nov. because they suggest you have testing complete by october.</p>
<p>hey does daniel admissions officer actually sees these threads?</p>
<p>Yes, he sees these. But he may not be online and if he thinks the question has been answered sufficiently, he may not reply.</p>
<p>yournamehere:</p>
<p>Yes I do read all the threads and will respond when I feel a question has not been answered or I can share additional information.I did not respond to your first post on this thread because "nd09" responded with all the information I would have provided -- and also provided the proper web link.</p>
<p>As far as your new question about whether there is a disadvantage in sending Nov. scores while applying ED, my answer is a simple one. If the scores arrive in time for a review, they then can help, they can hurt, or they can have no impact. They will be reviewed like all other test scores. If they do not arrive on time then that is just one factor that will not be included in your ED application review. The Admissions Committee does not give "more credit" if optional exams (SAT II Subject Exams) are sent after the required October date. </p>
<ul>
<li>As a side note, since the Nov. SAT/SAT II Subject exam date is November 1 this year, there is a high probablity that those scores will arrive in time for ED review.</li>
</ul>
<p>if the score that arrives on time and is higher than previous ones, that'll help right?</p>
<p>They consider your highest scores in each section. Doesn't matter when it arrives.</p>
<p>Higher scores are better than lower scores.</p>
