HELP! Will my January scores reach these schools in time?

I made the mistake to believe a majority of schools would accept January test scores. I called these colleges to ask if these scores were to arrived on time, would they be accepted. From this list, please let me know if you know of any incident in which past January test scores made it to college in time and were considered. Also, do you have any other advice to what I could do? I’m sending my ACT December test scores that I’m taking this Saturday but I’m afraid these scores will not be as high as I want to be.

Boston College
Emory
NYU
University of Virginia
University of North Carolina

You should check with each school individually, but I know that BC does not accept January SATs/ACTs.
