Is it worth it to take the ACT beyond school registration deadline?

<p>My daughter wants to go to Tulane. She was deferred to regular admission. The next ACT test date is Feb. 9 and Tulane’s deadline for apps is Jan 15. What should she do? Take the test or not</p>

<p>Has she already taken the test (or the SAT) ? How did she do ? What does she hope to get. </p>

<p>Generally you do not want to get left out of the normal admission process. Those dates are there so the college can look at the applications and decide which ones they want most. If yours is held back, there may not be any slots left. </p>

<p>If you think the circumstance is unique, or she doesnt have a test score, you can always call the college and plead your case. If this is just a matter of trying to raise your score 10% its not worth it.</p>
