Did I send in my scores too late?

Applying to College

So I completely forgot to send in my scores until now, and I’m kind of panicking. The Early Action/Decision deadlines for my colleges are all Nov. 1st, and I just sent them today (Oct. 25).

I’m super scared; I’ve chosen priority shipping but I read that priority shipping doesn’t guarantee that the schools will review them any faster-- so how screwed am I?

General context: I sent scores to UPenn, Rutgers, Drexel, and Northeastern.

I believe most colleges accept scores electronically and that the ACT sends out scores every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So I think you’ll be fine.

Make sure the school accept priority score. It should take just 2-3 business day to process.

I don’t know why schools never make this clearer…
The deadline for scores is NOT the same as the deadline for the actual applications. The score/transcript/rec deadline is usually three weeks after the app deadline (Nov 1). You’re fine!
