<p>I have taken the SAT reasoning test 3 times
SAT II Bio 2 times
SAT II Math and Chem 1 times (same day) but taking math again
ACT one time</p>
<p>total of 9 times will this look bad? will it look like im obsessed with SAT tests? will Upenn care?</p>
<p>That’s not a total of nine times. Chill.
It’s totally normal to take the SAT 3 times, the ACT, and SAT2s twice.</p>
<p>If you took the normal SAT 9 times, it would look odd. What you have done is fairly normal and should not cause you any concern.</p>
<p>My SAT scores 1940 (was bleeding during the test) to 2070 to 2270 with 1580 Two part.
Bio 610—> 700
Math- 720
Chem-760
ACT-33
Will UPenn be okay with them?</p>
<p>You can use score choice. Penn wont know how many times you actually took it.</p>
<p>are you sure? I am afraid Penn will find out and will probably think im dishonest</p>
<p>I’m — are you trolling? Please at least get anxious over the parts of your application that matter.</p>
<p>Oh im defintely am. but i hope this does not give me a problem :/</p>
<p>Penn does NOT allow score choice. You must send every SAT and every ACT. They DO want to see how many times you’ve taken everything.</p>
<p>Do you think they will look down upon how many times I have taken it?</p>
<p>Why are you even posting this? What’s done is done. No one’s chances are good applying to Penn. Apply and be done with it. This whinging is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Hopefully Penn sees this thread and decides not to let you in because you are a weak person.</p>
<p>Everyone let up. When your dream school is uber selective, its easy to go crazy with the small stuff that “doesn’t matter”</p>
<p>That being said, when penn says they want to see all your scores, they really mean that their requesting them. As long as you don’t put on the common app that you took that test, and you don’t send it, penn won’t see it.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve taken 3 SAT2’s, 2 SAT’s and the ACT, putting me in close to the same boat as you. When colleges say they don’t want you to be obsessed with testing, they mean that they don’t want you taking the SAT 10 times. 3 is fine, heck 4 is probably okay. Seriously, your fine, so don’t worry to much.</p>
<p>Excuse me, but score choice is NOT all right at Penn. If you do not send everything, you’ll be breaking the commitment you make when you sign your application. Penn can check this, and dishonesty can get your admission rescinded. Academic integrity is a major value that the admissions office takes very seriously.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure its illegal for penn to check your confidential collegeboard information unless you tell the collegeboard you want penn to see it.</p>
<p>That being said, I’m applying to penn, so I have seen their supplement. Nowhere is there a checkbox that says "I swear that I am sending you all my SAT scores, and promise . . . " or something like it. If you can find me anything published by penn which states that they require, not request, all your scores, I will concede to your dishonesty point, but not to your “penn can find out” point.</p>
<p>Typically, when your school sends transcripts, they send a sheet that has a copy of ALL of your test scores on it. Each time you test, your school is sent a sheet with a “score sticky” on it and the sticky goes in your record. Your colleges see that sheet.</p>
<p>My son’s HS does not report test scores on transcripts. I find it surprising that some schools do since it will hurt kids trying to superscore or who need to ignore a crappy subject test in their weakest subject. :-(</p>
<p>Am I missing something or what? I would think that showing an improvement from 1940 to 2070 to 2270 would be a good thing to show any college. Much better than something like 1940 to 1950 to 1935.</p>
