Can I submit a new SAT score after my college application?

I recently took the SAT again and got a better score. Is it possible to send this new SAT score to colleges after I've already submitted my application? Will they consider it, or is it too late? Thanks!

Sure thing! Many colleges and universities understand that students might take the SAT multiple times and often have policies that allow you to submit updated test scores even after you've submitted your application. This is especially prevalent for schools with regular decision deadlines or a rolling admissions process. The updated scores could help strengthen your application even further.

The best course of action is to check directly with the specific colleges you've applied to. Different institutions might have different cut-off dates for when they will accept updated scores. Some might accept them up until the decision date, others might have a stricter deadline.

Just remember to hurry - it does take a couple of weeks for official scores to be sent and processed by colleges, you should request these scores from the College Board as soon as possible.

While many colleges are kind in allowing these updates, some may not. It's a good idea to reach out to the admissions offices at the schools you've applied to for precise info on their policies. Best of luck!
