My ACT score is not ready and I have college apps due on the 1st!

I am applying to Columbia, Brown, and NYU but I haven’t received my December ACT score. I have taken the ACT before, and received a 27. A 27 is not high enough for these schools. I am pretty sure that I received a 30+ on my December ACT. I do not know what to do because I don’t want the colleges to see my 27, but Brown, for example, requires a score. Any advice for what I should do? Should I send a 27 or wait?

If the apps are due on the 1st send the 27 ACT score. When you receive your December ACT score call or email the admissions office with the new score if it is higher than 27. Good luck!
