All pieces of your application must all be submitted or postmarked by the November 1st (Early Action) or January 7th (Regular Decision) deadline.

Additionally, you cannot control when Santa Clara will receive your SAT and/or ACT scores from the testing organizations, but you must have taken the test before the application deadline and requested that your scores are sent directly from the testing service to Santa Clara. If your high school puts test scores on your official transcript, this is an acceptable method.
