Is December too late to take the SAT?

Applying to College
1

<p>The December test date is on the 1st, and scores will be available starting December 20th. I'm retaking it in October (in a few days) but by the time I get my score back to see if I want to take it a third time, the November late registration deadline will have already passed. Can I take it in December in time to send to colleges, or will it be too late?</p>

<p>I'll probably be applying to these schools:
Oberlin
William and Mary
University of Virginia
University of Chicago
Virginia Tech
Bryn Mawr</p>

<p>Check the school’s admissions page. They list the deadlines for testing.</p>

<p>Depends if you are applying RD, EA, ED, etc. For most EA/ED, it will be too late. For RD, it depends upon the cutoff date. If the school’s cutoff date is 12/1, then you have to find out. If the cutoff is 1/1, then the scores will be ready in time (assuming you indicate the school when you register for the test).</p>

<p>I’m not applying early anywhere, so RD for all schools.</p>

<p>All the schools you list take December scores for regular admission. That is true for almost every college in the nation.</p>
