October scores arrive in time for ED?

<p>This has always puzzled me, possilbly because I am new to the college process. But if you apply to a college for ED at a deadline of, say, November 15, and you take the ACTs in October, I am told that the school will wait for your scores to come in. But how do they know they are to wait for your ACT scores? What if I submit SAT scores but not ACT scores (because they haven't arrived yet). How do they know they have more scores coming?</p>

<p>ed deadline is usually the 1st, i have been told it does arrive in time, but im not positive that is true for everywhere.</p>

<p>The october one is supposed to arrive for sure- it's the november one that's iffy.</p>

<p>I would think that you'll have to put the school that you want for ED as a recipient for Oct vs. waiting to see the score</p>
