Hi,
New to this forum. I actually had a simple question. My son is a junior in high school, getting ready to apply for some colleges. He did not do so well on SAT, and has low GPA. I am going to have him take ACT with preparation class, but it is not until October.

Question-Should we wait to apply for colleges until after he gets his new ACT scores, (hopefully better). Or, just apply and send the current SAT scores, with understanding he will take ACT, later? Will he get rejected right away based on current SAT scores?

Thanks any help apreciated.
