Sending the December scores?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>If I wait until December 29 to see my score before sending, will colleges that have a deadline of December 31 still accept it? I mean, even if I say that I want them sent before I receive my scores, the scores won't be sent until at least the 29th anyway, right?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I have the same question. anyone?</p>

3

<p>Usually on colleges websites they state the last test date they accept. usually it is december, so you are fine.</p>

4

<p>but when you look at collegeboard, it says that the last day to receive the scores is December 31. So should I wait or send it blind?</p>

5

<p>You should send it. Most colleges only care about your highest score, it seems.</p>

6

<p>Well my question is, if you took the writing section, they can't send your score until your essay score comes out right? And that's usually at least a week after the Multiple Choice score, so I don't see how blind sending it would make it any faster.</p>

7

<p>Exactly. Good point.
So consensus is, wait until December 29 to see my scores and send them if I am satisfied?</p>

8

<p>I don't know about "consensus", but I'm definitely waiting till the scores come out before I pay over a hundred bucks to send them.</p>

<p>haha
okay
as long as I'm not alone</p>

<p>If say I scored a 29 on the Septermber test, and I sent those scores in already...
Would it hurt my chances of getting in a college if I sent my DEC Act scores without seeing the scores first and having them be lower than my 29? Thanks.</p>

<p>that's what I'm afraid of</p>

12

<p>So for Common App colleges (like NYU and Cornell w/ deadline 01/01) we can still send December ACT scores right?! But do it after we see what we get?</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I'm applying to those same schools. So that's what I'm hoping. I'm going to check it December 29 and then send if I like</p>
