newbie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 What does it mean when the interviewer states , hurry up and take your SAT's, we have all your other info. we need, but we need to see your SAT scores by Jan. She said her math wont show up well, and they said they focus on reading and English portions. I want her to wait til summer, so she can study, I dont want her to flop w/o studying, or stress about SAT's. What shall we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think they are trying to get it in for Merit Schol. pre March. So , could that mean she is contender, so hint, hint. Or would they keep bothering her. How do you know, when a college really wants you????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcjlkplus3 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Would it hurt to take them sooner? If she felt she could do better, could she then take them again in the summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I would take them now. When I worked in a college admissions office a few years ago, they could not even send you an acceptance letter without test scores. Your dc can always take the test again and try for a better score (and in some cases better scholarship). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Well, I'm a little confused by the age/grade listed for your dd. I just got through telling a candidate that he needs to get one more form turned in so it is in his file when his October ACT scores post. Our admissions board doesn't consider an application complete without official test scores. There are two cut off dates from the college I work with. One is the last set of scores they will use to establish someone as a candidate. The other is the last set of scores they will use as consideration for admissions. Granted, I think that the college I work with has a front loaded admissions cycle compared to many others. But if I were talking to someone who planned on starting college in fall 2010, then I would be strongly encouraging them to be signed up for the next couple of tests. You might still be able to get into the October test, although that might be too close to still sign up for. In general, I suggest that folks interested in a service academy take a test spring of junior year and again fall of senior year if needed.

readwithem Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Actually it's too late to register for the October date (a week from today) even with late fees. The deadline for late registration for the November date is Oct. 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
