Is it okay if my SAT scores arrive past SJSU's deadline?

<p>So, I thought the scores would arrive on-time to SJSU (San Jose State University). I took my last SAT in December, under assurance that if I sent SAT scores to all my selected campuses, they would receive the scores on time.</p>

<p>SJSU's deadline was on the 18th but on mySAT, it says: *Your December 2009 scores will be available on December 22, 2009 *. I thought scores were mailed 2 weeks after I took them? I'm worried now..</p>

<p>Should I email them about it? Or just chill? The status says my application is incomplete. :X</p>

<p>

I believe I’m screwed. ._. What should I do?</p>

<p>Definitely email them or call. If it is specified on their website that December scores are fine, then you’ll be fine too.</p>

<p>Update: Just found out this on CollegeBoard about SJSU: “# SAT Reasoning / ACT score report due by: 01-DEC” :(</p>

<p>As long as your scores were mailed out before the deadline then I’m sure your okay.</p>

<p>

You should contact the person who gave you that assurance, because according to SJSU’s admission website,

[SJSU</a> Admission](<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1164.html]SJSU”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-1164.html)</p>

<p>If someone from SJSU or the CSU gave you that assurance, you could email them and ask how you should proceed. If the assurance was not from a SJSU or CSU representative, have your scores sent as soon as possible and hope for the best - it will probably be okay. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m sure my app will be canceled. It was by the 18th of December.</p>

<p>According to College Board, SDSU (San Diego State)'s deadline was 30-NOV. Which is odd, because SDSU never alerted me about that deadline and I can’t find it on their official website… There goes my two back up colleges! =[</p>

<p>Thanks everyone; I think I’ll try giving them a call Monday</p>

<p>It is not a good idea to rely on College Board for specific admissions requirements for any school. They are often years behind in updating information, and have no official standing at any college!</p>

<p>From SDSU’s website:

[SDSU</a> I Want to Apply - Service Area First-Time Freshmen Admission Criteria Fall 2010](<a href=“http://arweb.sdsu.edu/es/admissions/apply/104/ftfservice.html]SDSU”>http://arweb.sdsu.edu/es/admissions/apply/104/ftfservice.html)</p>

<p>Note: It took approximately 90 seconds for me to locate this information on SDSU’s website, and I had never visited the website before. Colleges “alert” students to their deadlines by clearly stating them on the websites and in admissions publications.</p>

<p>Great! It wouldn’t help to call them anymore, right? My application is probably going to be canceled anyways because the deadlines were clearly stated on their website. I should’ve done more research… when I got SJSU’s msg the deadline was the 18th, I thought it was safe to take dec’s SAT because it only took 1~2 weeks for scores to send.</p>

<p>I’ve also applied to several UC’s and UOP. But those are mostly goal (SC is reach) and dream (Uop, UCB, UCD, UCSD) colleges. Since my fall-back colleges are now gone, which colleges should I look into?</p>

<p>EDIT: I believe the TAG (community to UC guarentee) applications were due long ago in sept/november…</p>

<p>Oh, if the deadline was before you even took the SAT and/ or before the SAT site even mailed the material then your application will likely be canceled.</p>

<p>Gosh, I’m confused (I’m not thinking clear theses days anyways…): I sent my SAT scores to SDSU and SJSU on December 5th. I took the SAT in early November – got my scores in late November. Pleeeze tell I’m ok… anyone?</p>

<p>bump - help!</p>

<p>Call them.
If they say it’s ok.
Put it in writing.</p>

<p>How should we say it? “I didn’t know, so I ended up sending it late. Can my application still be considered? (Rushed SAT?)” Omg, I hate myself for this ;__;</p>

<p>Both admission offices are closed until January! My SAT scores were rushed, and my app status still says pending. I really hope they accept rushed SAT scores…</p>

<p>@Petiza, did you get to call before the 21st?</p>
