<p>so im applying to usc for merit aid. i got a 32 on my act and a 1890 :( on my sat so im going to retake both to try to do better. so i plan to take the sat on the nov. date because i have marching band/dance team competition in oct. will the new scores for the sat be there in time if im applying for scholarships by 12/1. Do i need to rush scores?</p>
<p>did you take the PSAT? Are you a NMSF? If not, you should be aware that your chances of receiving merit aid are not great. The only part of your application that MUST be in by no late than Dec 1 is YOUR application., so there is no need to rush scores.</p>
