<p>test scores wont 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>
