I know UM doesn't accept rush SAT scores, but what exactly are those? Let's say I apply September, but I retake the SAT in October. Would that be consider rushing them? By filling in UM as the place I want to send the scores on my score reports?

Thanks, I'm confused about this.

no, that's not rushing. rush gets to the school in 2-3 business days and u pay extra ( i think $20something) if u just put down UM as where u want ur score sent, ur fine. so don't worry and good luck!

Thanks.

So, when should I apply to UM? I mean, I already took the SAT and got a 1330, but my GPA is still lower than where it should be.
At what point should I send I apply without my October SAT scores being too late?

i'm getting recs and stuff now, and i'll submit the online soon. i'm trying to get it done b4 Oct. i don't really know what u should do since I'm a confused one myself. i think u should get all ur stuff in and they'll wait for the scores since there's a spot for u to say when u are retaking so they'll know. hope i'm right and somewhat helpful! hehe good luck

if you do that they don't look at your application until ALL parts are in so if ur retaking the sat they won't be able to look atur application until end of october early november because it takes minimum three weeks for scores to get to UMICH..........
rush scores come in a tiny envelope and don't give any info other then ur scores (don't say how many times u took the SAT etc) so they don't accept rush scores because they hvae to enter it by hand into the computer (my college counselor said this)
