Is it too late to cancel my ACT score reports?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a high school senior that is worried. More than a little worried, actually.
I scored a 1900 on my SAT and was feeling pretty confident that I would do great on my ACT as well. It turns out that I didn't do so hot and received a composite score of 21.</p>

<p>I've looked on the ACT.org FAQ's and it's not clear to me whether or not score cancellation is possible at this point. Is there anything I can do to cancel sending my scores to my colleges? My family and I don't exactly have a lot of money (or time, for the matter) available on hand to be able to request for a rescoring.
--------------------------------------…
If it's too late to cancel, how do you think this will affect my applications?
I'm a good student with solid grades -- I have a more rigorous schedule than most. I'm taking three AP's this year. I have a GPA of 3.9 and a lot of extracurriculars and leadership roles to back me up. (Senior class VP, and NHS President this year)</p>

<p>I know that it would definitely be quite the stretch to try to get into Rice University at this point. I was pretty lousy in planning out my standardized testing schedule. I haven't taken the two SAT subjects that are required and was going to use my ACT with writing to meet the requirement.
I'm also planning on applying to UT at Austin, Texas A&M, the University of Utah, and the U of Arizona.</p>

<p>If you mean cancel the test score entirely then it is too late because that needs to be done before the score comes out. If you mean you put colleges on the list to send the score as part of your application for the test then yes, you also cannot cancel sending them because the scores have already been sent and that is a list you need to change before scores come out. Impact will likely be none as colleges you mention use for admission that score which is better if you send both ACT and SAT. Exception is Rice. For admission to Rice you can rely on SAT plus two SAT II scores or, alternatively to both, the ACT. Thus, unless you submit SAT II scores Rice will rely only on the ACT and it is way too low for Rice.</p>
