Freaking out

I have yet to send any scores in to colleges. The application deadlines are early January and many of them want the scores to be received with the application, evidently.
I intended on sending them today but the ACT website just posted a notice that any requests for scores wont be processed until the 28th.
I’m freaking out. If they get the scores late, will my application still be considered?

I would send them in as soon as possible, but I would not worry too much: usually colleges give students grace periods to submit any missing paperwork.
