Future sittings for ACT

Hello there, im in really tough situation right now, for context im an indian international student who is on his gap year, i originally took a gap year in order prepare for JEE and BITSAT (indian examination) and at august of last year, i discovered the wonderful opportunity of applying for us colleges

A lot as happened after that, we have moved house, my grandfather died last month, which broke my already troubled father's side of the family even further, i wanted to write the December Sat properly but i bombed it so badly

I reached out to the colleges asking if they would be willing to accept my march SAT attempt as i really wish to prove myself, they responded saying that if i could get the result before they start looking through my profile then, yes! (Very low chance/ almost impossible)

Therefore i have chosen to take ACT as it is the closest standardized at placed at February, im just pulling this shit as my last glimmer of hope as i really loved the idea of coming to the us universities

Im posting this to get a shallow sense of validation, i know this is rather a last ditch effort that might be useless, but i wanted to ask, have u seen cases where people do this or have u done this? Or am i the only one?
