Coach Taylor – When is it too Late to Take the ACT/SAT
March 10th, 2010 - byAsk Coach Taylor – My daughter wants to retake the ACT and SAT. When is it too late? Does this need to be done before signing day?
What matters most is when the application is looked at by admissions. If the athlete is borderline academically and needs higher scores than they need to have them in by the time the application is put in. The signing of the National Letter of Intent really has nothing to do with admissions. If the athlete did not get into the school, the NLI becomes null and void.
One other important note is if the athlete improves the test scores after admissions they MAY be eligible for more academic aid. That can be raised up until the first day of class.
