blegh youre doing a pretty good job of guilting me into working on my ps. my actual apps are filled out, lors are in, etc... the only stuff im missing is the stuff that i actively have to write, lol. which schools have you submitted?
BU and BC. I've also emailed some schools without explicit policies listed on their admissions sites about whether they could consider solely my Oct score or if they'd have to hold the application until December scores come out. For the record, Penn said they would consider the Oct score solely unless otherwise stated. BC said essentially the same. Cornell said they hold it unless otherwise stated. For the schools with explicit policies that I looked at, at UVA they consider your previous scores and not the future one unless otherwise stated. And BU states they automatically hold the application without considering applicant preference.
