<p>SAT scores from the October 9 administration will not BEGIN to be delivered to colleges until about October 28 electronically and November 1 via paper. U of M does not receive paper score reports from the College Board and they may or may not download them before the EA deadline. Also your scores may not be among the ones available on October 28th.
They will know because you will indicate in your application that you are taking the October SAT assessment. If you are not found to be admissible with the materials on hand before they receive your October scores, they will review your file again once the October scores are received.</p>
