<p>The college I'm applying to wants apps in by Oct 31. If I send the online application today, I still have until Oct 31 to get my SAT score report in right? Because my score report won't be ready until Oct 24, but I want to send in my app earlier. Is that alright?</p>
<p>You can send the app before the test score arrives. In fact, for most colleges the test score can actually arrive after the deadline date for applications. For example, if you are applying early decision or early action and the college specifies that it wants apps in by 10/31 and accepts test scores through the October test, it usually means it wants that test score transmitted by the College Board on the usual date that the college has agreed with the College Board to download scores for all applicants who took the October test and that date can be in November.</p>
