Hi, new to the forum and I was just wondering if anyone could answer my question. I currently have a 1250 SAT (670v 580m). I'm going to take it again in October and I'm fairly sure I can raise that 50 to 75 points at least. I was just wondering if the October SAT was too late for the Cornell ED deadline of Nov 1. I'll have to send the application out before I get my score back. I'm sending a score report to Cornell, I'm just not sure of all the red tape involving how scores are recieved and read etc. I may just be stressing but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I always thought that October was ideal for ED.

However, you may want to read this thread on Cornell ED

Your October scores can be received by Cornell for a Nov. 1 ED deadline--you may want to have them "rushed" though, just to make sure. Sometimes on their web sites schools will tell you what the latest possible dates are for testing to meet their deadlines. Last year, my son applied ED to a school with a Nov. 15 deadline, having taken SAT I and IIs on the Oct. and early Nov. dates. Worked out fine. We did rush the November scores, though.

Dont worry about it. I applied early to Columbia last year and they received my October and November SAT scores. Also, it is recommended that the scores are not rushed. It is better to send them through the regular service. Trust me, they will reach the school in time.
