<p>I have this q too. I’m applying to UofM, whose early descision is November 1. I will have everything except have my rec letters (since they’re out of my control) by the time school starts and I want to send my app in ASAP. Can I still take the September ACT? I’m pretty sure I can, I just don’t know how to let UofM know that I’ll have a better score that isn’t released yet.</p>
