I am planning to take the ACT for the final time in September. I will be applying to four schools, and I have specific residence halls picked out at each one that I would like to live in. For all these schools I plan to apply by the Early Action or Priority Deadline dates, which fall on November 1st. I will probably have the results by early October. If I have everything ready to go or sent by then, is that too late to get ahead in scholarship and housing applications?

Colleges I will apply to: University of Iowa (Honors Res Hall- Daum), University of Minnesota (Honors- Middlebrook), Indiana University (Kelley LLC or Honors) and Southern Methodist University.

Would it be better for me to spend $11 per college to send an old ACT score as a baseline for acceptance and send my new one later for scholarships so I can get a head start on housing? Please let me know what you think!
