<p>Hi, I am a junior and a little confused about the system of score reporting and deadlines for Caltech.</p>
<p>On their FAQ (Frequently</a> Asked Questions - Caltech Caltech Undergraduate Admissions) it states: </p>
<p>Q: Can I take or retake the SATs or ACT after the application deadline?
A: You can, but the scores may not arrive in time for consideration. You should complete tests by October for Early Action and by December for Regular Decision.</p>
<p>I am considering Early Action but am concerned about taking the SAT in October. The college board states that if I take the SAT on October 6, 2012, scores will be released online on October 25th AT THE EARLIEST.</p>
<p>However the Caltech Early Action Deadline is "November 1 (postmark/electronic submission)
...for application and all supporting material". So what if my SAT score comes in later than Nov 1?</p>
