<p>So I'm thinking about retaking my ACT for a more well-rounded and increased score. But most schools have a regular decision deadline of January 1, while the ACT will be administered on December 14. </p>
<p>I understand the scores will be released by January 1, but will schools accept them if they're not sent directly at the time of registration/before the Wednesday after taking the test? Will they accept after I see my scores?</p>
