I’m planning on applying early to multiple colleges before their deadlines, most of which are Nov. 1. My SAT scores will be ready in time but my ACT scores will not.
Is it better to just apply at the regular deadline when both my scores are ready OR apply early with only my SAT scores.
I also have a 4.65 GPA… if that helps anything. Please help! 
Schools I’m interested in:
UCLA
Stanford
USC
Pepperdine
UCLA only has regular decision and it does not matter when you apply but do not wait until the last day Nov 30th. The UC application opens up Nov 1 for submission.
Make sure you know the differences between ED-Early Decision, EA- Early Action and SCEA- Single choice Early action and REA-Restricted Early action when applying.
Here is Stanford’s REA policy:
Restrictive Early Action Policy
-Applicants do not apply to any other private college/university under their Early Action, Restrictive Early Action, Early Decision or Early Notification program.
-Applicants may apply to other colleges and universities under their Regular Decision option.
Call admissions if you can’t find info on the websites, but many colleges will say that they will consider test scores that are sent in up to a certain date - which is sometimes after the application is due.
