<p>Hi. I was just wondering if universities will receive my SAT subject test scores on time if I take them in November, albeit the application deadline is November 1st. </p>
<p>I am specifically looking forward to applying ED to Cornell, and on the university's website, it said that admissions usually receives them before review. Do you guys think the chance of their reviewing my application after the scores are sent is high?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>The reason I’m asking is because I’ve been very short with time, and I’m writing the SAT subject tests next week on June 1st. However, I know I won’t do as best as I can since I’m not fully prepared. If you do have some insight as to whether November is a solid back up plan, please respond. Thank you!! :)</p>
<p>If it’s not in my odds that admissions will consider my app after the November scores are sent, do you think my potentially mediocre scores will hurt my chances of getting in? </p>
<p>Here’s a link to my other stats: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1508617-what-my-chances-getting-cornell-school-arts-sciences-ilr.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1508617-what-my-chances-getting-cornell-school-arts-sciences-ilr.html</a></p>
<p>Chance me, and I will chance back!!</p>
<p>Bump.</p>
<p>Somebody please give me some insight! This is quite worrying to me. 70 people don’t know the answer to this?</p>
<p>The test date is November 2, 2013, which is after the application deadline. You’d be better off taking the subject tests on October 5, 2013. To know for sure what’s the latest test date that is acceptable for ED call and ask the Cornell admissions office.</p>
<p>The Cornell website says that they do accept November sat subject test scores provided that they are received on time. It says that admissions usually receives it on time but there is no guarantee. Do you think that there is a high chance that my November scores will be accepted on time?</p>
<p>Bumppppppp</p>
<p>It seems you have already found the answer from Cornell. However, there are numerous cases that the scores got delayed or the score reports were mishandled by CB or the schools. Why do you want to take the risk and wait for the last minute?</p>
<p>I am taking the SAT reasoning test in October, so the only other time to take my SAT subject tests are in November. I am taking them in this week, but I don’t think I’ll be ready. Do you think there is a high chance that admissions will accept my scores before they review my app? Also, is there a certain time that admissions review apps? And how long does it take for College Board to send the scores to the recipient school - why would the scores be delayed/mishandled?</p>
<p>So you don’t have any scores on hand but you decided to apply to Cornell ED? That’s not very logical. Most students would look at their scores to establish a list of schools to apply. Also, it is really late if you have not taken at least once SAT or ACT by May. June is best time for Subject tests. If you have thoroughly planned (or visited this forum earlier), you should have finished your SAT1/ACT at least once by now.</p>
<p>Cornell (like many ED colleges) accepts Nov test scores for ED with the caveat that they need to arrive on time. They will arrive on time as long as you name Cornell in your test application as a college to automatically receive scores upon release, i.e., as one of your free sends. In fact they will be in Cornell’s on-line file that it has with CB about two days before you even get the scores on-line. In other words, you need to send the scores blind and you should not wait until scores come out to decide whether you should send them.</p>
<p>@drusba, so if I do exactly what you said, Cornell admissions will receive my scores on time 100% guaranteed?</p>
<p>Yes, with one caveat: if your scores are not released because College Board puts yours on hold while it investigates possible improprities by you or at the test center, then they may not arrive in time because those investigations often take four weeks or more after everyone else gets their scores before there is a decision to release your scores.</p>
<p>@drusba, Thank you so much for the information! But if I may ask, how do you know all of this info, and why doesn’t Cornell post this info on their website? Admissions kept saying that it’s not guaranteed. I appreciate the info nonetheless, it’s a huge relief!! Also, how would the improprieties that you mentioned occur? Randomly or would it because I made a mistake when sending the scores?</p>
