Can I submit ACT scores before I submit the actual application?

<p>Title says it all.. can I submit my ACT scores to colleges if I haven't submitted the actual application, recs, etc to the school?</p>

<p>And I mean like after you’ve already taken the test and gotten your scores. Not the option you fill out before you take the test. Thanks :)</p>

<p>You can send score reports either before or after submitting the application. Schools will hold on to all of your materials until your application is complete.</p>

<p>My son knew where he wanted to go since Jr High, so he submitted ACT and AP scores years before before applying - first AP as a Soph. Us parent’s weren’t so confident, so we recommended he also have them sent to his top 5 choices.</p>

<p>^That’s fine, but just so students understand, AP score reports only need to be sent to the school where you choose to matriculate, they do not have to accompany applications.</p>

<p>[note: there are a few exceptions for schools that accept AP scores in lieu of other standardized testing]</p>
