I’m fine to email the admissions office if need be but I was wondering if any of you here could answer my question. I’m currently working on my Pitt application for EA but I really want to bump up my test scores a little. I currently have a 32 ACT but I would like to take the November SAT. My question: If I submit my application with the 32 ACT, could I later submit my November SAT score for merit scholarship consideration? Will it be too late? Will rushing the score make a difference? Pitt is my #1 school but I really need to maximize my chances for merit scholarships if I am to go. I know they have a rolling admissions process, but November 4 just seems to late, especially because it is after the EA deadline.
Thank you so much to anyone who can help me! Like I said, I will email Pitt and ask if I need to, but it is much less stressful (and possibly less time consuming) to post on here.
Yes, feel free to submit your application now and just let us know that a score will follow.
I did want to clarify one thing, we do not have an Early Action deadline for admissions. You may be thinking of the Priority Consideration Deadline for Pitt Honors, that is for review for admission to Pitt Honors only. Those who would like to be considered for our scholarships must apply by December 15 (though it is in your best interest to apply earlier with rolling scholarship review).
Hope that helps!
Good luck,

Thank you so much!! And thanks as well for the clarification!
