Is the October 28th ACT test date too late if I'm applying to the UCs?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying to the UCs and the CSUs, and I was wondering if a score from the October 28th test date would get to them in time. The deadline to apply to the UCs is November 30th, and scores are first available the 14th. The issue is that ACT says it could take up to 8 weeks for certain scores to come out. I’ve heard that you don’t need to receive scores before the deadline in order for colleges to consider them, but I am not sure if this is true. Could someone confirm this for UCs specifically? Would it be ok to sign up for the October 28th test date? Thank you!

it should be no problem, but if you’re worried about it you can send your scores directly instead of seeing them first

You’ll be fine!

UC’s accept up to the December sitting. You will be fine.
