<p>Will the UC's accept the SAT/ACT taken in December, even though the scores come out a month after the UC app is due?</p>
<p>Yes, UCs accept through the Dec tests. See, e.g., the ACT and SAT exams box here [Dates</a> & deadlines | UC Admissions](<a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/dates-deadlines/]Dates”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/dates-deadlines/)</p>
<p>I saw that on the page, but how does submitting my scores after the application deadline work? Do they review my app before seeing my December scores?</p>
<p>It is unlikely your file will actually be reviewed to make an admissions determination until after mid-Jan. Moreover, as long as you put in app that you are taking Dec test, a final decision will not be made before it arrives or before end of Jan when enough time has passed to know it is not coming. Mostly what happens in Dec to mid-Jan is reviewing files to determine whether they have in them everything required to be submitted and whether the applicants meet the minimum requirements for admission to a UC (not necessarily one of their choice) so the file can be deemed ready for actual review by those who make admissions decisions for each UC</p>
