When should I apply?! Alabama hopeful

<p>The first college I'm going to apply to is The University of Alabama as it is my first choice. I currently meet their requirements with a 3.25 Gpa and an 1100 SAT composite score of math and reading. ( they require a 3.0 Gpa and a composite SAT score of 1000) I'm retaking the SAT on October 11th and am working hard to get my scores up. I won't have my scores back until October 28th. Everyone is telling me the sooner I apply the better. If I apply on October 28th is that too late? Their deadline is February 1st.</p>

<p>? Why are you waiting til Oct 28 to apply? You do NOT have to wait til your SAT scores come in at all. Bama will not reject you while there are still testing dates available to take.</p>

<p>So I could apply now and send my new test scores at a later date if they improve? I sent in my application today but have not sent my transcript or my current SAT scores. I am gonna begin that process tomorrow. @mom2collegekids</p>
