will my SAT scores be LATE for EARLY ACTION? help!

I am applying to 3 schools EA -

  1. UChicago
  2. Northeastern
  3. UMASS Amherst

My SAT scores were sent regularly October 21th, and I just got an email today saying that scores after sent after October 14th are being delayed. Will my early schools NOT get my scores in time?

  1. UChicago states that they will take November SAT for EA, so will i be fine here?
  2. Northeastern says if they receive scores no later than Nov 15, it will be okay, but with this delay, will my scores make it by then?
  3. I can't figure out if UMASS will take them.

If anything, am I able to pay another fee and turn my order into a Rush Order? Will this make a difference?

Please, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I know for a fact that UChicago takes late scores. I called them on Tuesday because I was also worried about possible late scores but they reassured me that they’ll take scores after the deadline. As long as you reported the scores on the Common App you’re fine. Most schools don’t accept a rush order so I wouldn’t recommend it. Call/email and check with the other two schools to see if they have the same policy.

My son is applying EA to Northeastern. I emailed his specific admissions rep and she replied that they accept them up to 12/1. Hope this helps.

@ch1maera I am about to Submit my apps for EA, either tonight or sometime tomorrow, but I did not self report SAT scores. Is this something I should change, based on what you said?

@johnnamjh thanks for that! It’s a big relief.

I sent my scores on October 20 and I’m having the same issue! Does anyone know if Harvard accepts late SATs? They said they wanted them by the end of this month but they’d take the November series… does that mean they’ll take other SAT scores later too?

@TheNICKNAME Shoot, I’m sorry for the late reply but yes, you should have self reported your scores so the admissions counselors have something to go on.

My scores were marked as sent on November 02, however it changed to pending just now. I did not receive any email from CB at all.
