<p>@tcg1993 Can you provide us with your college list that allowed late submission of test scores? We may not have the same list but some schools may match up?</p>
<p>I am also freaking out a little bit about this whole ordeal and I honestly do not want to spend twice of what I’m supposed to.</p>
<p>^^ Same here, I don’t really want to send my previous score and then have to send this one again just because they haven’t been released yet :</p>
<p>I retook the test for scholarships at two of my schools… I needed one more point. I called one of the schools and they said they would not accept my december scores if they did not come by the 3rd and consider me for more money 
Even if I scored higher it won’t help at this point</p>
<p>Who knows, maybe the ACT corporation will apologize by giving each of us an extra composite score point. //wishful thinking</p>
<p>@annay49: Omg! Which schools were those?</p>
<p>annay49 ya what schools are those? Please don’t tell me it is USC or UC’s because then I’ll be so sad :(</p>
<p>Why does everyone keep saying that they “need a break”. My father is lawyer and my mom is a nurse. The first day they had off from work was the day before Christmas Eve. ACT Corp has had two weeks to grade these dam* test. The reason they aren’t scored is because ACT Corp is lazy, not because the holiday break interfered with them grading it.</p>
<p>They should’ve been able to get our test scored before they went off from the holiday break.</p>
<p>For holiday break**</p>
<p>no it was a small state school in Michigan. They said that they won’t make exceptions to their rule for scholarships even if ACT is to blame even if they say they accept the December ACT for admission. They’re the only school that said that to me though </p>
<p>The other school said they will adjust scholarships with ACT scores/gpa if it changes even at the end of the school year</p>
<p>I really wanted to put these scores on my CommonApp T_T</p>
<p>It won’t matter if I add them on my CommonApp though right? As long as I send them in eventually.</p>
<p>35 composite on first try
35 E
35 M
35 R
35 S</p>
<p>sooo piiissseedd because I missed the last question on the math section, and knew it as soon as I got out of the test… thought the + was an x… and it cost me a 36! fckmylife</p>
<p>^Do like your name says.</p>
<p>they actually havent had 2 weeks to grade it. the test was literally two weeks before the first score release. you have to consider the human labor it takes for each test center to collect all the tests, sort, etc send them to center by snail mail.</p>
<p>ACT needs to grow up. Within 17 days (Dec 4 - 21) SAT could post the result that includes essay scores. But ACT couldn’t even post the composite score. What a shame!</p>
<p>33 c
33 e
34 m
32 r
31 s
11 e</p>
<p>barely got the 33, only a 32.5
question: when colleges consider the ACT scores, do you think they pay attention to how they round? because my score definitely wasn’t a true 33.</p>
<p>I suppose that some stringent schools might calculate it out that you got a 32.5 rather than a 33, but most schools are more lenient than that. They’ll give you mercy and count it equally to a 33 composite.</p>
<p>As far as I’ve heard, they really do calculate it as a 32.5 if they ever have to convert it to an SAT score but most colleges take ACT scores equally. Certain colleges won’t tell you but they prefer SAT more and will convert your ACT to an SAT score so you will get your 32.5 converted not 33. This works the other way also if the college prefers ACT but you give them SAT.</p>
<p>^They would only be able to do conversions based on estimation because there’s no data to actually do it. The only given information is this for example: a 34 is concordant to a 2250 regardless of what that 34 actually is (that is a 33.5 = 2250). There is not a statistical breakdown of the individual 34’s that allows concordable SAT values to say a 34.25, etc. without estimation (say a 34.25 ~ 2280), etc. Estimation, plausibly, I don’t think most colleges convert though and ACT inc. doesn’t want that anyway. Several schools i’ve applied to only list the composite ACT, no breakdown. They don’t even look at it nor do they care. A 34 is like any other.</p>
<p>This is unacceptable. This is the ACT’s job. What happened? Did the grading machines freeze or something? We were only expecting the scantron scores, right? If anything, they shouldn’t get our hopes up by telling us it’ll be up beginning December 27, if they know they’ll be on vacation? This is extremely important for those of us applying to colleges! I was waiting for my score (like many others) to submit my common app! What if I did better and didn’t want to submit my lower score? Is this some scam of theirs to earn more money from us? We’ll have to purchase two separate score reports per school, right? Especially if they end up coming out in February! That adds up to a lot, and should be free for us or something since this really isn’t fair. Further, I shouldn’t have to go on CC for this information. They need to put this on their website. This should be brought to the attention of news stations. People need to know about this.</p>
