<p>I have taken the SAT twice - once last November, and once in January.
Although my scores weren't TERRIBLE, I still want to try one more time, so I am currently signed up for the October test date.</p>
<p>The main university I am interested in is the University of Michigan, and I am applying early - and the deadline for the application is November 1.</p>
<p>The SAT test scores aren't released until October 25. </p>
<p>Michigan requires that the test scores be sent directly from Collegeboard. On the site it also says: "Your SAT/ACT test scores must be sent directly from the testing agencyrush paper scores are not accepted."</p>
<p>I know for rush scores, you can pay a fee and they'll send the scores to the university within 2 days...but apparently I can't do this. So can I not use my October test score for University of Michigan?</p>
<p>October 25 is before the deadline, so I’m not sure what you’re worrying about? Many schools say not to use the rush score option - it doesn’t get it to them any quicker, and may be slower, as they use a computer download to get the scores from the college board.</p>
<p>Hey lol I am in the exact same boat a you, University of Michigan is also my number 1 choice. So I visited the campus about a week ago and asked. The October SAT is absolutely OKAY for the early action deadline, no rush no nothing just send it normal and your good.</p>
<p>Best of luck at UMich, (wish me luck cuz im gonna need it)</p>
<p>I just emailed my admissions counselor @ Michigan and he said:</p>
<p>Send in the January score (we only look at the highest composite of one sitting that we have on file) as long as it has writing it will make that part of your application complete. When we get your other scores I will be given an email confirmation letting me know of the new test scores if I have already reviewed your file. If that is the case I will go back into your file and make a note only if it is higher than what we already had on file! So the answer…send both/all and we will take only the highest composite into consideration</p>
