Specificity of Deadlines

Applying to College
1

<p>Most of my schools' applications are due on Jan 1. I understand that I have to send my application + supplement by that time.</p>

<p>Questions:
1) If the community college I took many classes at doesn't send my transcripts to the colleges until Jan 2 (arriving probably the next week - Jan 9), is that okay?</p>

<p>2) I sent in all of my SAT and ACT scores. For some schools, I plan on taking the January SAT and the Feb. ACT. How can I tell them this? Is there a location on the Common Application where I can mention this?</p>

<p>3) If I do mention #2 on the application, then will they ignore the scores I have sent them and wait for me to send in new scores?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>1) Not a problem. The deadlines refer the the items over which you have control.</p>

<p>2) List the tests with dates and no scores. However, check the websites of the colleges you've listed to see if they accept the January and/or February tests. Many might accept January; few will accept February.</p>

<p>3) Maybe, maybe not.</p>

<p>Chedva said it all except</p>

<p>3) They will not ignore the scores you sent. </p>

<p>They might look at your new scores, and if they do they will compare it to your previous scores. If you get the same score or a few point higher then its pointless. If it worse...God I hope it isn't worse. If it's noticeably higher then it will show that you can improve over time. Potential will be seen.</p>
