<p>Do they have to necessarily arrive at the college by the deadline?
I am going to receive my test scores just a few days (like 3 or 4) before the Early Action deadline for many colleges. So the official test results might not be sent to colleges by the deadline. Can they arrive a few days later, as long as I complete the rest of my application before the deadline?
Thank you. </p>
<p>It’s preferred so, but frequently scores won’t arrive on time. But that’ shouldn’t hurt at all unless it’s TOO late. </p>
<p>If you are getting scores 3-4 days before the EA deadline, it might not arrive in time, but admission office isn’t too cruel to dump your application just because your score arrived a few days after the official deadline.</p>
<p>Why don’t you ask the admission office? Mostly likely they will say it’s okay. That’s how it worked for me.</p>
