SATs

<p>hey guys, i was just wondering if i am to apply early to michigan, what is the latest SAT date i can take? I have already taken an SAT exam in Jan but I want to re-sit it again in october. If i do the october SAT, will michigan still review that score if i apply early which is in november?</p>

<p>thanks :)</p>

<p>I applied to Michigan as an early applicant and the SAT I took was the one in October (I think that’s the first one they offer). If you do the October SAT, I’m pretty sure that’s the one Michigan will review. As for the November SAT, I don’t think Michigan will consider your app. ER because they don’t start looking at your app. until they have all of your materials. But I highly recommend finishing the application and submitting that as soon as possible since getting your app. in very early can make a difference. As for the SAT, if you don’t mind me asking, what were your previous SAT scores?</p>
