Rolling Admissions, wait or go?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everyone! I'm looking at applying to a couple of schools who operate with rolling admissions. I have only taken the SAT once and haven't taken the ACT at all. My score as of now on the SAT: 1400/2040 (710 CR/690 M/640 W)</p>

<p>I am taking the SAT again on Oct. 4th and the ACT later in Oct.</p>

<p>The question is, for schools with rolling admission should i go ahead and send in my application with my first score or should i wait to retake and then send the app with the better scores? I know that the additional scores will get to the admissions officers eventually, but does it look better to send them with the initial app?</p>

<p>HELP!</p>

<p>ehh you applying UHC for pitt??? 2040 is for Pitt extremely good. To tell you the truth 2200 and above, adcoms don't care anymore, to them a 2390 is about the same as a 2240. If you can raise it significantly sure wait. If not don't worry about it.</p>

<p>You'll be fine with a 2040 for Pitt. I would just apply now.</p>

<p>bellabee I asked a similar question and the majority of the advice was to go ahead and go for it. Esp since your scores are already in range.</p>

<p>Keep in mind some rolling admission schools up the standards as they fill their slots (PSU) for example. So you may have a trade-off depending on the timing. I think for PSU it was Nov 1 last year.</p>
