The official policy of this office is that all testing must be completed by the deadline for which you are applying. This year, there is an ACT in late October and an SAT in early November. The ACT on October 27 is in time for the early action deadline,but the SAT is not. And even the ACT is cutting it a little close.
We have to turn around early action decisions very quickly -- in several weeks, as opposed to several months for regular notification. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that we will see November test scores in time for your application to be complete and read. October test scores will probably get to us in time.
Please do not rush your test scores. It actually takes longer for rushed test scores to get to us since they are on paper, not electronic.
Test scores do need to be sent to us from the testing service. The scores on your transcript will not suffice.
