<p>My friend's son is applying to a few UC schools with UCLA being his dream school. The problem is the final SAT test they will accept, according to the website, is the December test. They live in Northern Europe and the November test was full. He can only take the January test. Does anyone know if the UCs ever make exceptions for such cases (many schools make exceptions to many rules, so I wonder if anyone has any experience or knowledge of such an exception)? They tried to contact admissions but obviously today is a holiday. Can someone help out? Thank you.</p>
<p>Can you find another test site in a different country with an open seat?</p>
<p>The deadline for signing up has past as well. So even if he wanted to take the Dec test, it is too late to sign up. Unless, anyone knows of a way to get the College Board to approve of a late sign up.</p>
<p>Can you pay the late fee?
You can also take a chance and go standby status.
You may lose your fees and cost of travel risking standby.</p>
<p>Batlo … I did not realize that you can still register for the SAT after the registration deadline. I will contact the testing location tomorrow to see if there are more seats available. Does anyone know if you can register after the deadline and then take the test?</p>
<p>According to the CollegeBoard.com site, Intl students cannot file late registration:</p>
<p>“International registration materials must be received by the international deadlines. Deadlines expire at midnight Eastern Time.”</p>
<p>For the Dec 3 test the registration deadline is Nov 8. So, Im back to the original question, does anyone know of UCLAs policy towards last SAT test date accepted? Do they give a little leeway in such cases as the one I stated above?</p>
<p>I’m not sure, but in general I don’t think UCs give much leeway to anyone in any situation. They get like hundreds of thousands of applications per year in total, so they don’t put much effort into helping specific applicants out. If you e-mail them asking for help, they generally give an automatic reply without even including your name in the response…
So yeah. I wouldn’t bet on their making any exceptions.</p>
