About SAT score choice

[Crimsonred]

<p>Hi, I was just wondering when Yale says it wants "all scores". Does that mean if I need to send all my subject test scores as well? Thank you!!</p>

<p>If you are sending any SATs, you must send all of them, including subject tests. </p>

<p>

As long as you provide a complete set of score reports from one testing agency (either the College Board or ACT, Inc.), you are not required to report scores from both. You can choose to report either all of your SAT results (both SAT and SAT Subject Tests) or all of your ACT results. If you want us to have any scores from both the College Board and ACT, Inc., you must report all scores from both testing agencies.

<p>So if I took 5 subject tests, but I really just want to send 2 of them, I still need to send all five? </p>

<p>@Crimsonred, Really? This is what you do for entertainment? I had been on a no-snark resolution, but this is too… oh never mind.</p>

[Crimsonred]

<p>haha I didn’t really take 5. But will the university know I didn’t send all my scores? I thought the CB score choice is only for the SAT reasoning test…</p>

<p>[url=<a href=“http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2009/01/16/no-choice-on-scores/]This[/url”>No choice on scores - Yale Daily News]This[/url</a>] is what Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Jeff Brenzel had to say on the subject:

We trust students to be honest when they report their testing as we do with other parts of the application, and of course there may always be consequences of varying kinds if we later discover that the student has misrepresented anything on his or her application

<p>@skieurope‌ I applied for SCEA. So should I send all my SAT scores again?</p>

[skieurope]

<p>If you have not previously submitted them all, yes.</p>

[Crimsonred]

<p>@skieurope‌ I will send them with my Nov SAT. But just wondering, will the university know if you send all your scores ?</p>

[IxnayBob]

<p>OP, what difference would it make to know? Why don’t you ask them?</p>

<p>@Crimsonred, it sounds like you really really don’t want to send one or more SAT II score. I get that - I had to send one score I really didn’t want to send also.
My Dad explained it to me this way: (if you’re lucky) you’re about to embark on a four year relationship with this college. You need to have as much integrity on your end as you expect Yale to have in their dealings with you. If the college started lying to you about their admissions policies, not being transparent or otherwise betraying your trust, you’d be outraged and it would change everything about your experience. Violating an expectation or a score reporting policy, even if you think you can get away with it, is bound to backfire. Sending your less impressive scores, if they are required, will show Yale you have confidence in the process and personal integrity – and that will count for a lot. That’s how I’m looking at it anyway. </p>

<p>@LyricalLacuna‌ , your father stated it well. I might borrow his response in the future :)</p>

[Crimsonred]

<p>I was just really confused because for other No Score Choice schools like U Penn and Stanford, “applicants may use Score Choice to selectively send their SAT Subject Test scores.”</p>

<p>But from the Yale website, I guess I need to send all my subject tests.</p>

<p>

because for other No Score Choice schools like U Penn and Stanford, “applicants may use Score Choice to selectively send their SAT Subject Test scores.”

The quote is valid for Stanford, but not for Penn, which requires all scores. SAT subject scores are optional at Stanford, which is possibly the reason they do not require all subject tests.</p>
