<p>According to USC’s admissions FAQs: We suggest that freshman applicants take all SAT and/or ACT exams by December of their senior year. Although we will accept scores from later sittings, we cannot guarantee that your results will reach us in time to be considered by our admission committee. <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/faq/dates_and_deadlines.html”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/faq/dates_and_deadlines.html</a></p>
<p>Sweetbeet: I think your instinct is probably a good one. I can’t see any harm in not submitting optional SATII and submitting scores late that do not add anything special to the file seems unnecessary.</p>
