In the title are the colleges I’m applying to (all UCs except B and M). I took the SAT yesterday but I think I got too nervous or something so I feel like I’ll be taking it again. That means I will take my SAT in October and two subject SATs in November. Will these test scores arrive too late to submit to these colleges?
Check the colleges’ web sites.
@ucbalumnus I did but I don’t quite understand what they mean by the test scores being due in December (ex. UCs). Isn’t the application due November 30?
All the colleges you mention accept through the December SAT and ACT tests for regular admission. UCs Nov 30 application deadline is not the test score deadline.
@drusba so on the application do I indicate planned test dates and submit my scores when available? will the latest test scores be considered in the application process or only the ones handy on the application itself?
You should check what is needed by each college to which you intend to apply. The UCs want you to submit official scores from the testing agency that you have when you apply and tell them in the application of any future test dates you will have. Stanford actually accepts self-reported scores and you should report the ones you already have in the application and then you can send an email with scores thereafter for a test you take after applying. You need not send official scores until after you accept admission. UW and USC want official scores from the testing agency. For those, if you take the SAT in Oct, you should order it sent as soon as you get the score. And then later send any subject test scores from the Nov testing date, except however you need not send subject test scores to UW since it does not use them to determine admission.
@drusba thank you so much!
