<p>Hey y'all, a few questions on the all terrifying application process...</p>
<p>1) ON SENDING SCORES
My high school transcript has my ACT scores on it, do colleges usually take that? (by college I mean stanford, duke, berkeley, cornell, carnegie mellon, ETC)</p>
<p>2) ON EARLY ACTION
If a person is not accepted through early decision/early action, is he/she placed in the regular pool or is he/she just plain rejected or waitlisted? </p>
<p>3) ON EARLY ACTION again
If I was not accepted, can I send new rec letter or personal statement to replace the old ones? </p>
<p>4) ON SENDING SCORES
My ACT percentile is much better than SAT percentile, should I just send ACT? Or both? ACT 33 - 99%, SAT 2050 - 92-95%</p>
<p>1) usually NO, because it's not official
2) some are deferred (placed in reg app pool) others are flat-out rejected. From what i know, no one is waitlisted if they apply early
3) I think you could send a new one in addition to the old ones, though I'm not totally sure
4) Send the ACT unless the school requires the SAT. Most will take the ACT instead.</p>
<p>1) You need to have the ACT or College Board send the scores to each school. You have several free choices when you take the test. To add schools, read the procedure which is clearly explained on their websites.</p>
<p>2) same as above</p>
<p>3) If you are deferred to RD, send the school a letter expressing your enthusiasm for their institution, and updating them on your recent accomplishments, including new test scores. You also have to resend the test scores from the official source, but, with the letter, admissions people will know they must look for them.</p>
<p>4) With most of the schools you've mentioned, you must send SATII scores, so your SAT I's will be included. Nothing you can do about it, but don't worry because yours are respectable.</p>
<p>midwesterner, i assume u'r from the midwest. Do applicants from midwest have a slight advantage over others? Not many people around here apply to they?</p>
