Senior with first time ACT in February...

Applying to College
1

<p>So a friend of mine's son isn't taking the december ACT test, but plans on taking the Feb. test. He's a senior and applying to top schools and a few ivies. He has awesome ec's and rec's, and a gpa that is in the range for his schools. Also, he is very smart and has taken 2 or 3 practice tests....all scoring in the 33-34 range. If he sends in his Feb ACT scores...will he still be able to get accepted? Will he have a chance if he gets in the 33-34 range?</p>

<p>And he can't do standby tomorrow due to a scheduled surgery.</p>

<p>*I'm trying to help out a friends so please just don't ramble about how he should have taken the test before now. Thanks!</p>

<p>best bet is to call the schools themselves, each school has a different deadline. Majority that I know of do not take anything after January. But again best call the schools, or go standby tomorrow am just in case.</p>

<p>unfortunately he can't go standby tomorrow (he has a surgery)</p>

<p>lol, don't you hate it when people don't listen???? Anyways, I think the only way to get passed this is to call or email the schools themselves and tell them that your son had surgery the day of the ACT and wasn't able to take it, has been looking forward to college all his life, this and that....and then just see if they'll accept it.</p>

<p>Okay, does anyone know schools that do accept the feb9 ACT?</p>

6

<p>anybody else</p>

7

<p>bumpinnnnnnn'</p>

8

<p>Harvard
Colorado college
Yale</p>

<p>those all for sure accept February. I'm sure more Ivy leagues accept it as well though.</p>

<p>"unfortunately he can't go standby tomorrow (he has a surgery)"
hahaha</p>

<p>I think only having taken tests this upcoming february is a stupid decision on his part because automatically multiple schools are ruled out of being accepted to.</p>

10

<p>gee bigtwix, his spleen ruptured and he had to go into surgery immediately Friday night.</p>

11

<p>Do any of these schools take Feb. ACT test?</p>

<p>UPENN
Vandy
Cornell
William and Mary
University of Virginia</p>

<p>Are you serious? CALL. Don't expect someone here to do your work for you. Call or see if you can get some infor this wkend by looking in one of the college books that says. I know that Yale clearly states to what dates they will accept test scores.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I would call but all the offices are closed....I just wanted to know if anyone knew off the top of their head.</p>

14

<p>bump.bump.bump.bump.</p>

15

<p>I checked (except for UPENN), William and Mary are the only one he can make it in time. I'm sorry to hear his circumstances.</p>

<p>Again, best if you call the offices.</p>

16

<p>thanks Wen123</p>

17

<p>If we called the schools and told them of our situation...would they take it?</p>

18

<p>it won't hurt to try .</p>

19

<p>Try and take the SAT in January?</p>

20

<p>If you can't take the ACT in feb. take the SAT in Jan. I applied to Vandy (ED) with only SAT I and II scores. Colleges will take either one. </p>

<p>There's a SAT in January 26, 2008.</p>
