I don't understand how this works..

<p>No, but I want to send my latest ACT score. I’m an older student, so I had take it again. The early application says “while we would of course like to receive your scores before the appropriate deadline, for the Early Action deadline, we will accept November SAT scores and October ACT scores.”</p>

<p>Can I apply and then wait for the scores to be sent to UChicago? Did they mean I had to take the test in August and the scores that arrive 8 weeks later (i.e. October) are the scores they mention?</p>

<p>UChicago is my only college choice, so I think missing the early action deadline will hurt my chances.</p>
