<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have a problem that I am severely concerned about. I took the SAT I in October and got a 1930 (definitely not satisfied with that); so I decided to retake in December and signed up for that date. So far, so good...
The problem is: It seems that I have already sent my October scores to my recipients (-didn't know that a single click on "Send scores" immediately sends the scores...-). I am going to apply RD to 8-9 schools and I will submit my applications by the end of november. So for a about one month (the whole December) the admission officers of the respective colleges just have my October scores which I am concerned about. I don't want to be dismissed because of that. (Harvard for example says that they start reviewing the apps in December...)
Though I'm going to point out in my common app application that I am going to take the SAT I in December (in the standardized tests section) I still wonder whether this peculiar incident may have that injurious effects on my application.
Any advice? Any thoughts? Please help me out...</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>they won't even LOOK st your scores until it is matched up with your application,and THEN not even until Feb, unless one is rolling admissions</p>
<p>They look at scores in the context of your application, so don't stress, again, they won't even pay any attention</p>
<p>You aren't' the only one with scores in before the application</p>
<p>And if any of these schools does EA or ED, then THOSE applications will be the ones they look at in December</p>
<p>Harvard, well...</p>
<p>Are you sure about that? I hope they don't filter the application pool by this certain criterion...
So if I point out in the application that I am going to take the December SAT they wait for reviewing my application?</p>
<p>Most colleges take the best scores anyways. I wouldn't stress.</p>
<p>Well, I know about that, but the problem is that for about 4 weeks they JUST HAVE my October scores...</p>
<p>There's a reason why college don't have score reporting due after you've submitted your application. There are so many aspects to college applications that they start evaluating everything else first, and then they'll look at test scores.</p>
