<p>I haven't sent any applications to colleges yet, but can I just send in my ACT/SAT scores if I am not retaking them again? Or do I have to wait until my portfolio is made by college admission officers?</p>
<p>Generally, a college begins an application file for any applicant upon receipt of either an application or test scores from an official testing agency. Thus, you can send scores and then apply. However, as has been the experience of a few here on these boards in prior years, sometimes when they receive test scores first, they screw up and don't match the later app with the score so you may have to call to resolve the issue.</p>
