If I apply to schools now (before Nov. 1 deadline) with my June SAT score (1260) for Early Action/Decision scholarships, can I update my score with the Nov. 2 SAT score (just put in the college code to have Collegeboard send them my scores)? Will they use my new SAT score when considering scholarships, or am I completely screwed?
You have to look at the deadlines (latest opportunity to take SAT for X round of admission) on the website of each one of the colleges you are applying to…policies vary from school to school.
If you don’t find that info, or the info re: latest test to submit for merit scholarships, email or call your AO and ask.
Yes, each school will list the latest score that can go into each decision deadline.
If the application deadline is 11/1 and there’s a test 11/2, schools typically will be able to include those scores in the decision process, as long as you send the scores directly (they should arrive by the 15th).
But check the school’s specific policy. It should be on the web site, but call if it isn’t.
