I'm planning to take the ACT again in November, but I'm worried it might be too late for my applications to places like Texas A&M and OSU. Does anyone know if they accept November scores for regular decision deadlines?

The November ACT test date typically works well for most regular decision college applications, including Texas A&M and Ohio State University. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the November ACT test date is November 9, 2023, and scores are usually released within 2-3 weeks after the test date.
Texas A&M's regular decision deadline is December 1st, which means November ACT scores should arrive just in time for consideration. The university generally accepts test scores received shortly after the application deadline, understanding that November test results may arrive in late November or early December. However, it's always best to contact Texas A&M's admissions office directly to confirm they'll accept your specific test date scores.
Ohio State University's regular decision deadline is February 1st, giving you plenty of time for November ACT scores to arrive and be considered. OSU typically accepts test scores through January, making the November test date completely viable for their admissions process.
To ensure your scores arrive as quickly as possible, select your target schools when registering for the ACT to have scores sent directly. This automatic score reporting saves time compared to requesting score reports after receiving your results. While awaiting your scores, you can still submit your applications with all other required materials, indicating that ACT scores are forthcoming.
