October ACT and Early Action?

Hi I was wondering if colleges would take my October ACT scores if I was applying Early Action. October scores aren’t expected to be released until Nov 4 and Early Action is usually Nov 1. I really am not happy with my September ACT scores since there are not within the range I want them to be. Should I email each college I wish to apply Early Action to?

Check every school’s website – some do, some don’t. Any that do will require you to send the scores directly (so you can’t wait to see the score).
