Sending December scores to colleges

<p>Well I'm just waiting for the ACT scores to come out tonight. For Boston college it says they need the SAT/ACT score report by January 1st. I'm afraid if I send them they won't be there in time, because I heard you have to wait for your writing scores to come out to send this? What should I do??</p>

<p>bumpp anyone, really need to know??</p>

<p>You should call BC and ask what to do. It is one of those small minority of colleges whioch says all supporting materials must be in their hands by application deadline, which would essentially make it impossible to get Dec ACT there in time. However, what you can usually do with such colleges is mail (as soon as it comes out) a copy of your score to the admissions office with a letter asking it to be included in file and telling them you have ordered official score to be sent. Then order score sent regular delivery (do that as soon as you get it).</p>

<p>The reason that should work is that usually what happens with colleges that require everything by deadline is that, if everyhting is not in, they will send you a notice in second half of Jan or early Feb, telling you what is missing and that you should send it promptly (in other words you get a second chance to send it).</p>

<p>Well I emailed them, and didn’t get a response yet. Anyone else have any other suggestions on what to do.</p>
