<p>if they say the RD deadline is Jan 15, does it mean that the admissions committee starts flipping through the files and looking at the applications right after the date?</p>
<p>if i send in my scores right now, would they first consider your scores and decide to either accept/reject based solely on the scores?</p>
<p>no, stop worrying about the darn SAT, they suck, colleges know it...if you have a 3.7 and 1200 SAT, who cares, you're fine</p>
<p>Nope. The schools would start a file. Until they get all of the information they need to make a decision, they won't usually consider your candidacy.</p>
<p>Don't sweat it, like shoebox10 stated.</p>
