Does Temple require official ACT test reports, or will they accept scores if they are on your official HS transcript?
I am pretty sure all universities require you send official scores if you opt to send scores. Temple has a score free application option called Temple Option (but I believe it is a different application requiring more essays).
From The Temple website:
In addition to your application, make sure to send us all of your supporting credentials, like official transcripts and SAT/ACT scores. Students may elect the Temple Option, instead of submitting standardized test scores.
@runswimyoga Some universities accept test scores if they are reported on your transcript (University of Illinois-Chicago, for example). Though some of these schools might require you to send official scores if you are admitted and you accept the admission.
my kids scores were on transcript and that worked. Still, wiser to send them in from ACT directly as that is temple’s official policy, i was surprised they pulled them off transcript in our case and that Temple did not insist on direct notification from testing entity.
@ctl987 Okay thanks! I’ll just my scores directly to them, then, just to be safe!
@ctl987 I have taken the ACT twice. Do you think I submit both test reports, or just the one I scored highest on? I don’t think Temple requires applicants to send all of their tests
@ThatPeprika I didn’t realize that some schools would accept them off of your transcript!
For what its worth,
I know when my son sent in his offical SAT scores to Temple we were surprised that Temple wasn’t score choice… they required you to send in all scores/ and on the College Board submit form you didn’t have the option of only sending in some of your scores for the SAT (you could however choice which subject tests you wanted to send in) but for the regular SAT, Scores from all test dates taken were required to be submitted. We were told that Temple does super score your results though and only uses your highest scores. I am assuming it would be the same for the ACT but you might want to call them to ask …
@runswimyoga Okay thanks for the advice!
oh wow, i thought Temple was score choice. glad runsw jumped in here or i would have given you wrong info. i am pretty sure Temple will take your higher ACT.
