<p>My understanding is that they will only consider score updates if 1) you have scores to update and 2) the exam has been taken close to the deadline and 3) the scores will be in FSU’s hands with enough time to consider them before the date they announce acceptances. You will have to call them to see if the accept the Oct 25 scores for the Dec acceptance. They may be. </p>
<p>Last year when D was able to see her scores online, but FSU did not have them yet, she printed the screen and faxed the results to an admission counselor with the note that they were of course “unofficial” but she wanted to be sure they had at least those to “see.” FSU had them officially 2-3 after that. She sent the fax with a note indicating FSU was her first choice (it was by far) and that she wanted to be sure they saw how hard she was working to prepare for FSU, etc. She was so worried about her scores.</p>
