<p>My son took an ACT test for a talent search program and got scores yesterday. </p>
<p>My son is waiting for March 10 decisions from several boarding schools. I am assuming most schools are in the final stage of the selection process.</p>
<p>I am wondering whether it’d be better to send the scores to admission offices at this time. Any advice?</p>
<p>I doubt it will help, but I also doubt it will hurt. In the end you might regret not sending the scores so perhaps you should send them. At the most competitive schools, high SAT/ACT scores are the norm, and many applicants participate in talent searches at the highest levels. You can read a few comments about PSAT scores here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/434716-national-merit-finalist-boarding-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/434716-national-merit-finalist-boarding-schools.html</a></p>
<p>If you have applied to some schools that are not the most competitive, then I think there should be more interest in the scores. </p>
<p>Your son could write a brief letter updating Admissions on any other accomplishments and include the ACT scores. </p>
<p>Congratulations to your son!</p>
