Late SAT Scores

Applying to College
1

<p>I applied to UVA early action using the Common App, which I'm sure many of you know, requires you to submit your SAT scores. Naive as I was, I thought that I only had to send my SAT scores via Common App, and not via CollegeBoard as well. Today, I finally decided to read my UVA from a couple days ago which told me to create account; after it was cretede, my account page stated that my application was incomplete because I didn't send my official SAT scores. After I figured out what they were talking about, I promptly went on CollegeBoard and did the express thing which sends scores in 2 days or less.</p>

<p>Question is: Will I be deferred to Regular Decision if my SAT scores come in a day or two late even if they are already on my Common App?</p>

<p>I had the same question as you for a different school, and my counselor told me that the admission officers don’t look at any applications for a good week or so after the deadline, possibly even later. So I think that you should be fine even if your SAT scores are a little late. And assuming you have all of your other stuff, I don’t think you’ll be deferred based on this.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your input, UVA is my top choice, so as I’m sure you can imagine, I’m pretty stressed right now.</p>
