Over the weekend I went through colleges with full ride scholarships based primarily on the SAT and most of them have rolling admissions and accept applications late into the year.
Also what I have found is that while the Common app can be updated with the latest grades as soon as they are out, this does not affect any applications that have already been sent out until then. In other words, the update doesn’t work retrospectively.
So I am left wondering again whether I should apply for the (very few) colleges that have a deadline of January 15 or February 1 and whether this is workable as he has merely days to get the app out as soon as his results come out on January 10.
