December Test Scores

<p>I got my December SAT test scores back today and I am very pleased with my results. College Board sent my scores on the 19th (Sunday) to UT. However, I already have SAT scores filed with UT Austin in my application from other test dates. Will UT take my December SAT scores since they are higher than the ones I sent before the deadline?</p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>anyone?

<p>Yes…they will put them in your file.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input collegeshopping.
I know the question may seem trivial, but on the UT website it says that you can send in December SAT scores <em>to complete your application</em>. My application is already complete but I sent them December SAT scores regardless so I am unsure on whether my new scores will be accepted or not.</p>

<p>Hey, they will accept your scores. But uhm, how do you know collegeboard sent them on the 19th?</p>

<p>Thanks for replying tarchas!
I went to my collegeboard account, I clicked to find out my SAT scores, I went to the bottom of the page and clicked My Score Send History, and I went through my history to see if any score reports had been sent recently and lo and behold I saw this message</p>

<p>UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AUSTIN</p>

<p>We sent the following scores on December 19, 2010</p>

<p>Selected Tests Sections & Scores
The SAT Test - December 2010</p>

<p>Generally, if you decide to use the 4 free score reports included when you are registering for the SAT, your scores will be sent to those colleges 1-2 days before you are even able to see your scores.</p>

<p>Alright cool. And by the way, I live in Austin, Texas haha, I know way too much about UT lol. So yeah they will get your scores! And yeah I saw that mine were sent on the 19th as well, and I called them. I’m applying to UT Austin and A&M, got into A&M already:).</p>

<p>Yeah I applied to UT and A&M and got into A&M already too haha, but tarchas did you already have a complete application on file (SAT scores, transcripts, online application, and everything) with UT Austin when those SAT scores were sent on December 19th? Also, I see that you called the university, if you don’t mind could you post what they said on this thread? Did they say that your December test scores (assuming that they are your highest yet) will replace whatever SAT scores you sent them before the deadline?</p>

<p>Also, good luck! I hope you get into UT. =)</p>

<p>Thanks

<p>Yeah my application was complete, and I meant to say I called collegeboard to see if they sent out the scores and they said yes. I think like usual, UT will take the better of the scores, if the December one is better. And mine is:) I should call IT though and ask them that, if you want me tomorrow I can do that. Its closed now:(</p>

<p>NVM, UT just updated my app today. Awesome!!</p>

<p>haha they updated mine too =) looks like I got you worried for no reason :stuck_out_tongue: sorry about that, looks like I can stop stressing</p>

<p>Haha no problem man. You can even update your transcript whenever you want to:). If for some reason it became better rank after your finals, or if you took any dual credit courses that boost up GPA, submit in that transcript.</p>
