Is it okay to send SAT scores after the Common App has been submitted?

My latest SAT scores just came out, and I want to include them in my application. Can I send these scores even to schools that I've already sent my Common App to?

The short answer to your question is: it depends. The deadline for SAT score submission is after the deadline for Common App submission, but it is still a hard deadline, so if it's passed, you won't be able to send them in. You can typically find these deadlines on a particular school's admissions website, or, if you're confused about what their policy is, you can reach out to an admissions representative directly.

One last tip: if you are still within the range when you can submit test scores, keep admissions offices updated by sending an email to let them know that new scores are on the way. This proactive communication not only ensures they're expecting your scores but also demonstrates your continued interest in their institution, by showcasing your commitment to making sure you've thoroughly addressed all aspects of their application. Best of luck!
