<p>Most top schools require you to send ALL scores.</p>
<p>I scored relatively low on my SAT (2100) compared to ACT (35) and did pretty good on my SAT 2s (Math II: 800, Physics: 760)</p>
<p>Will my chances be hurt at schools like Stanford and Berkeley by my low SAT score? Or will it be overlooked and they focus on my high SAT 2s and ACT score?</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>Dude that 2100 is already safe, you’re set for scores man. My friend got into stanford with a 2060, and the other got into harvard with a 2230, don’t sweat it especially your ACT is already awesome</p>
<p>Alright that makes me feel better lol. Thanks!</p>
<p>@JackPham Sorry for the question but was the person that got into Stanford Asian?</p>
<p>More specific question, were they Asian males?</p>
<p>Lmao</p>
<p>No. It must be an URM and first generation college student or double legacy. ;)</p>
<p>Pretty sure the top schools can’t require all scores to be sent. </p>
<p>From the SAT website FAQs:<br>
Is there a loophole that allows colleges to “opt out” of Score Choice?</p>
<p>Colleges cannot “opt out of” or “reject” Score Choice. Score Choice is a feature available to students. Colleges set their own policies and practices regarding the use of test scores. The College Board does not release SAT test scores without student consent. This will continue under Score Choice. Colleges, universities and scholarship programs will receive the scores applicants send to them.</p>
<p>And while this doesn’t help with your SAT, if someone is in the inverse position where they have a bad ACT, they will completely delete the score from their records if you request it in writing.</p>
<p>Literally the same circumstance for me: SAT(2150) ACT(35) Math 2(800) Physics(planned october). </p>
<p>Would there be any way for colleges to find out that you excluded your SAT Reasoning tests?
I live on the east coast so they may assume I took the SAT first. Has anyone “hid” their SAT scores from all-score universities?</p>
<p>Honestly these are both good scores. The ACT 35 is better though.</p>
<p>
Uh, yes they can. The schools can require the STUDENT to send all test scores. If the school finds out later they did not any offer can be rescinded, if in school the student can be dismissed, after graduation the diploma can be rescinded. Not the best risk/reward scenario IMO.</p>
<p>
If ACT scores can be expunged so easily, I wonder why schools such as Stanford and Yale require that students who are sending in ACT scores to fulfill the standardized testing requirement must send scores from all sittings for the test.</p>
<p>If an ACT score gets deleted in a forest and no Stanford admissions officers are around to hear it, does it make a sound?</p>
<p>@Hawkace Hahaha, it was an asian female, valedictorian, the one that got into harvard was a half hispanic, half white male, salutatorian and nope they are not first generation</p>
<p>Yeah, if I completely do not send SAT, they might feel suspicious because they would assume that I tried SAT at least once before taking the ACT.</p>
<p>@Erin’s Dad where did you hear that? That’s ridiculous. </p>
<p>@BassGuitar yeah, those punishments seem a bit too harsh. But he is right saying that a school can require all test scores. It’s on Stanford’s website.</p>
<p>Note that there are cases one cannot hide their test score. State/District mandated ACT (or less often SAT) score may be on the high school transcript. Also, for someone who claims to be National Merit Semifinalist/Finalist but do not submit any SAT score is also highly suspicious.</p>
