<p>So here is this thing, I had my October ACT sent to all of my colleges, but I have also taken the SAT in January. College board will send my Jan SAT score along with my SAT Subject Test Scores to colleges by the end of February. </p>
<p>I did horrible on the ACT, but I did very well on the SAT Subject Tests, and I "predict" I am going to get a decent score on Jan SAT also. (Well, at least better than the ACT...) </p>
<p>Here is the problem. Some of my applications are complete and ready to review for some colleges. Does that mean, they will process my applications before my Jan SAT scores got sent to them? </p>
<p>I understand that it's hard to tell. But at least I want to know what should I do to "hold on to it?" So that I can make sure they include my SAT scores into the reviewing process. </p>
<p>(I am typing this in a hurry. If there's something unclear, please let me know...PLEASE HELP MEEEEE!) </p>
<p>there are often admissions directors per region. you can access their contact information through the admissions portion of the website. wouldn’t hurt to contact each one and explain your situation. my son asked cornell to wait for his late Jan subject test results and they were happy to do it.</p>
<p>January SAT scores are usually accepted. It may probably in your best interest to email admissions at each school and ask if they accept January scores. Or just check their website, it’ll usually tell you. I remember that subject tests in particular are often accepted from the January test date.</p>
<p>If money is not extremely tight, you should send those scores regardless. My son applied to a school with an early action date of 12/15, but his ACT score was not available until 12/22, and that school scooped in his updated (much improved) ACT score and the SAT score that came a week later (also much improved).</p>
<p>If money is an issue, then do what pancaked suggested and call or email each admissions office ASAP.</p>
<p>Some add them, some don’t, some look at the January ones, some don’t. It’s usually explained on their web sites.
And for everyone, this is a lesson to avoid automatically sending test scores.</p>
