Don't know what to do? Deadline problem

Applying to College
1

<p>I am worried that the college, Stanford I want to apply to has the SCEA deadline on Nov 1st...they require SAT Reasoning and strongly recommend that I take two SAT Subject Tests.
Now when I look on collegeboard.com in order to check out the Test dates, the next SAT Reasoning and Subject Test is on October 14th. I have to take BOTH, Reasoning AND Subject Test and I can take either SAT Reasoning or Subject Test on Oct 14th, can't take both on the same day. And the next test date is Nov 4th. Deadline is Nov 1st for Stanford.
What should I do?
I know that Cornell allows you to send it by the beginning Nov/early Dec.
Does anyone know about Stanford?</p>

<p>Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you</p>

<p>I think Nov. 4th might be fine. But I thought you needed 3 Sat 2 subjects tests when you applied there.</p>

<p>from the Stanford website FAQ page:</p>

<p>test scores won’t be sent before the application deadline; what should I do?
Applicants should make sure they plan to take the required standardized tests in time for the score reports to be received by Stanford before we begin reviewing applications. Single-Choice Early Action applicants must take the tests no later than early October, and Regular Review applicants must take the tests no later than mid December. If you follow these guidelines, you should not need to request a rush test report.</p>

<p>Stanford also takes the ACT. </p>

<p>Register and Take the ACT with writing for Sept. 24 and then take your 2 SAT II exams in October. Keep in mind since you are starting so late in the process, you are only going to get one shot. Get good review books and practice over the summer.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

<p>So does it mean I can't apply there early?
because I won't be able to take Reasoning and Subject Test before that date.</p>

<p>no, since we take new SAT, we have to take two Subject Tests.
Those submitting scores from the old SAT had to take three STs.</p>

<p>Austin,</p>

<p>You can take the ACT in place of the SAT I. Then you will submit your ACT score along with your SAT II scores and you will be ok</p>

<p>But I am not good at ACT.
I am taking a SAT Prep course in summer that guarantees 300 points.
I have never taken/thought about ACT.
My friends say ACT is harder than SAT.</p>
