Will colleges reject before you send fall ACT/SATs?

<p>I have to take the fall SAT/ACT and am applying to Cornell ED, I got a bad grade on the first one and have to submit it (no score choice.) will I get rejected before I can get the Scores get in? If you can, Please explain how the fall SAT scores work. thank you</p>

<p>The Nov. 1 application deadline date for ED is not the test score deadline date. Cornell accepts the October SAT test even though it may arrive after Nov 1 and you can just send all scores when you send that test (same applies to October ACT test). In fact, Cornell will accept Nov SAT subject test scores as long as you designate Cornell as one of your free sends in the application for the test so it gets there in time.</p>
