EA deadlines

My DD finally got to take her SATs on 10/14. College board says scores will be released by 11/4. Three of her schools have EA deadlines of 11/1, and if she applies with no SAT they will not take scores later. What will potentially give more merit money? Applying early action without scores, or waiting for scores and missing the EA deadline? She has no feeling at all of how she did on the SAT and her PSAT a year ago was 1130

Sounds like the SAT score may not be of much help. If she has a good application otherwise and the schools are test optional (as almost are right now), I would go EA without the scores.
