I am self-reporting my ACT score on common app, but since I took it in December, I do not have my essay score yet, just the composite score. Common App does not allow me to leave the essay score blank, so what should I do??
I recommend calling and emailing (yes both you don’t know which is going to be faster) your college’s admissions office asap. Also call Common App they will know as well.
As soon as you get your essay score, you should go to the self-reporting scores section of the application portal for that college and update your essay score.
