<p>I have a problem. I am doing the SAT 28th january, but the universities I am thinking of applying to have deadlines in the beginning of january. Is this a problem, or can my SAT scores reach the universities later? I haven't even thought about SAT II yet... I should probably do that too? (i'm international and our school system here is different).
Also, is this correct: the earlier the application deadline, the better the university..? Seems like all the top schools have really early deadlines.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how I could help; it may be too late to do anything regarding this, but about the only thing I could suggest is to contact admissions staff at the universities to which you are applying. Did you try taking the SAT earlier?</p>
<p>As far as the relation between deadlines and quality of university, I've found the exact opposite to be true. Of the nine schools I applied to, the last four in terms of deadlines were the most selective (three of them Ivies).</p>
<p>All I know is Stanford has everyone beat with a Dec 15 deadline. Just, wow.</p>
<p>So, should I just wait for next year? Or go to a CC? But from CC it's hard to transfer to IVY's?</p>
<p>Check the college undergraduate admissions website. Many will list information regarding the last eligible test date for the SAT and ACT.</p>
<p>I think all the schools accept January test dates as the last ones.</p>
<p>Not all schools do. I know that Stanford doesn't; the last SAT score they accept is December. </p>
<p>The best thing to do is to check the websites of the colleges you're applying to. I had this problem too and I did exactly that. If the websites say nothing about this, email them. Yale and Princeton accept January test scores. </p>
<p>Also, just a heads-up: I'm also an international student without any SATs. You can't take the SAT I and the SAT II on the same day. Since you're taking the January SAT I, it's highly unlikely that you're able to take the SAT II in time for consideration.</p>
<p>I really hope that someone in the know can correct me on this, because this basically leaves me with one non-option of Yale and there's no way in hell I can get into Yale. Yale lets you replace the SAT subjects with your A Levels (or IB, or whatever; check their website) and of all the Ivys I checked saving for Harvard, Yale is the only school that lets you do that.</p>
<p>So, I dunno. Your options are pretty limited. And I know how much that sucks; I'm kicking myself for not taking the SAT subjects earlier. Sigh.</p>
