Hi, I was wondering if any one could help me on this forum by letting me know if they know anyone that has submitted the February ACT on time to schools (especially Duke) when they say they accept it.
Should I just ask them to hold my application?
Hmmmm. I was thinking about doing that as well. You must submit some sort of score by the January 3 deadline, but you can submit additional materials. They will be considered. Here is what the Duke website says:
“We will consider additional testing taken after the deadline but before decisions are made. The latest date for additional testing is January 21 for the SAT and Subject Tests and February 11 for the ACT.”
Decisions are made in April, so you should be fine. Be sure to submit the score ASAP, though.
I would e-mail your regional admissions dean to ensure this, though. I do not think they will have to hold your application.
