Does order of sending forms matter?

<p>The deadline to the universities where I plan on applying is March 1st. Now, is it fine to send SAT/ACT things in and the school forms before I submit my common app. Or should I do all of that after? Also, because all my AP information is on my college transcripts would I need to worry about sending those too?</p>

<p>My fear is them getting something from me, but not having a file yet to put it under.</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter which parts of your application are sent first, colleges will hold on to them until you have a full file. Due to free Score Reports, my D1 sent her SATs to some schools a year before applying, no problem.</p>

<p>You never send AP Scores when you apply, they are only self-reported. An Official AP Score Report is only sent to the school where you matriculate, so that they can use it for placement/credit purposes.</p>

<p>Alright. Thank you.</p>

<p>One more thing. Though the common app deadline is March 1st, 2012 for the majority of my applications, I may submit the paperwork late as long as the application is submitted by March 1st, correct?</p>

<p>The deadline is meant to be for all parts of the application, however, schools usually give some leniency for LORs, transcripts, etc.</p>
