“We recommend students make arrangements to take the required tests well in advance of our application deadlines. It is unlikely that scores from tests taken after our deadlines will arrive in our office in time for our review process. We will certainly review any scores we receive (even if they arrive after the deadline) but we cannot promise to delay the review of an application in anticipation of scores that will arrive at a later date.”

i’m confused…most schools with the january 1st deadline accept january sat scores. so would they really not arrive in the office on time? is it worth it to try? i’m considering paying $1000 for a math sat tutor so i can raise my math score from 600 in january. but would i be paying that money for nothing if they won’t receive the score?
