So something really s***y happened to me. I thought I sent my SAT subject scores on October 15th–I paid for everything. Lo and behold I call a college yesterday, and they say they haven’t received it. I call Collegeboard, and they tell me they never sent it because I skipped taking their SAT on October 6th. I sent my unofficial report to Princeton a few days ago, and because I thought I submitted my scores early I never self-reported it in the Common App.
Would SAT Subject Scores possibly make or break my chances of acceptance? I have strong ECs, bad GPA, good ACT, good recs.
Realistically, your “bad GPA” is the bigger problem.
i mean yeah, but those sat subject scores were meant to help it? also they sent me an email and said they’ve updated my application and are reviewing it again so
Good SAT scores don’t cancel out poor high school grades unfortunately, assuming you mean a truly poor GPA and not 3.8.
In terms of the delay, Princeton has no difficulty accepting self reported SAT scores, backed up by official scores arriving at a later time. We experienced this with my son a number of years ago when official scores were significantly delayed but we knew and reported the numbers.
