Grantmom Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 DS is scheduled to take the ACT tomorrow, and was really hoping to get this last testing date in for college applications. He was scheduled to take the November SAT, and then came down with a terrible stomach flu (vomiting, etc, there was no way he could have just powered through and gone anyway). So he signed up for the ACT for December, as all of the places where he is applying said they accept December testing dates. But we are on the East Coast, and several testing centers in cities around us have already announced closing because of the snow forecast. If it has to be rescheduled, will colleges accept late scores? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 There are currently 241 test sites in US that are rescheduled for tomorrow’s ACT. https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/test-day/rescheduled-test-centers.html Below is quoted for natural disasters where Common App advice counselors to contact the colleges. “Similar past events have demonstrated that our member colleges strive to be as supportive and flexible as possible with respect to their application deadlines, fees, and other requirements. We will work to support our member colleges as they work to support you.
 Understanding that information can change quickly, we recommend that you contact your colleges directly with any questions regarding deadlines and requirements, or that you review details on their websites for the most accurate and current information†http://www.commonapp.org/whats-appening/news/support-students-families-counselors-schools-impacted-recent-natural-disasters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It’s already 6pm EST so I don’t think the list would change for East Coast. Good luck to your son tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantmom Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Still on! Although, every city around us is canceled. It’s snowing now, and I think will get a bit worse yet, but looks like we are good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grantmom Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 I know! All the centers around us, to each direction, are closed. It's just now starting to pile up here, though. This morning it was still very light. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
