Forgot to send SAT Scores!!!

Well, I applied to a bunch of schools and I managed to send my scores to all of them except Carnegie. I realized this two days ago and I quickly sent them in using rush score report. Do you think Carnegie would still accept them? On their website they say
“We prefer that all testing for Early Decision applicants is completed by November 1 and for Regular Decision by January 1.”

Does prefer mean it’s a hard or soft deadline?

Please help!

“Prefer” is a soft deadline. This means that they are likely to consider your application, but may decide to hold it against your application.
