Can you update your ACT score after you submit your application?
Hello Loves!
My ACT score is currently a 32, and I'm aiming for a 34. I know that I can get there, but I need to retake the test once more. Unfortunately, I probably can't take the September ACT due to it being full in my area, and I'm going to be at a Taylor Swift concert the day of the October test, which I'm not going to forgo for obvious reasons lol. This means I likely can't retake the ACT until November. I plan on applying ED1 to Vanderbilt and wanted to know if I could update my ACT score after I've applied and after their ED1 deadline (November 1st), and if not, should I just not submit test scores? I had a super rough junior year, and my grades and GPA reflect that, so I wanted to have a good ACT score to combat that. I have outlined these struggles in the extenuating circumstances section.
Thank you so much!

I don't think you can, schools that I have looked at for ED1 do not accept ACTs from those dates mentioned.
Don't worry to much, you can always go test optional and your ACT of a 32 is already very strong!
