So I submitted my ED and EA to Columbia and UChicago yesterday, but I was wondering whether or not it would help me to send my ACT and AP scores and such. I did self-report the scores I want them to see, and they say on their sites that they do take self-reported scores. However, would it benefit me to officially send the scores? Or does it not really matter, and I should just officially report them if I get accepted?
No.
If the college accepts self-reported ACT scores, then there are no brownie points given for score reports. AP score reports are only sent to the college you are attending.
