sending multiple score reports

[historymom]

Forgive me please if this has been asked in the recent past but if your student is applying EA or to rolling schools early on as safeties and currently has the numbers required for acceptance, Is it normal to send a subsequent set of test scores after acceptance to hopefully have a better shot at merit money?

For example, My D is within or above SAT range for several schools to which she is considering applying EA . A couple of those are privates and the price tag will come down if sh reaches a certain point range on either the SAT of ACT. She is planning to take the ACT and perhaps retake the SAT in the fall. If those results are better than her previous SATs is it normal to send them along even after the first set of scores has been sent and admission perhaps been secured? Or do you just wait for the results and send them all at once before the EA deadline?

If her scores place her in range, I would send them when you submit your EA application. I would then send the subsequent scores if they are better than the first scores.

Out of curiosity, which privates bring their price tags down for high SAT/ACT scores?

Thank you. Sorry I was vague. What I was referring to was the price of tuition would come down for us if higher scores meant that merit money increased.

historymom: I so hope I have this correct, but I am sure enough re the answer to at least give you a heads up.

This question was asked at Trinity in Focus (Trinity U in SA) and the answer was "no". If scores are pending at the time of the EA deadline (test taken but scores not in yet), talk to your admission counselor and let them know. The university can receive the scores via internet ASAP, so the u will work with you on that aspect.

I gathered that it is best to wait and send all test results before the EA deadline.

Just one u, but I do know that you are looking at Trinity.

I promise to get my Trinity college visit up soon. I want to have time to do it justice as it was a great visit.
