<p>^ Nope. You report SAT IIs separately from the reasoning test. And for most institutions there’s score choice anyway.</p>
<p>When you try to send in just SAT IIs or SAT I to a school like Cornell, a warning sign goes up to say the school wants all scores to be sent. It is the same if you choose to only send in required SAT IIs.</p>
<p>My memory is fuzzy, but I seem to recall that all of the SAT I and SAT II scores showed up together back when my D’s sent them several years ago. This was before score choice, so it could be different now I suppose. Not every school allows score choice though. I think Yale, for example requires all of either the SAT tests or the ACT tests you have taken.</p>
<p>Bay, you are correct, they still show up together. For schools that do not participate in score choice, all test scores are required to be sent in. Cornell maybe the only school which does this - you could submit either ACT or SAT I, but 2 SAT IIs are still required. A school like Yale, ACT could be submitted in lieu of SAT I, IIs.</p>

<p>Ok. I think this means though, that if you want to send your ACT score and SAT IIs (optional, but might bolster your cred in some areas), you cannot do it without sending the SAT I as well.</p>
<p>Adcoms don’t like seeing kids needlessly spend time trying to one-up their scores. If you’re 16 years old and the best use you can think of for using $49 and 5 hours is taking a standardized test…well, not everyone’s cuppa. Even for kids who like taking the tests and do very well at them. An applicant with tippy-top stats but not much else might be better served by not sitting too many standardized tests. But this is maybe in the grasping at straws level of admissions analysis. A few years back when Harvard still required 3 subject tests there was some speculation that if you only took 2 that would signal Yale (which only required 2) that you weren’t going to also apply to Harvard and mess up Yale’s yield rate. </p>
<p>Looking at the Harvard 2010-11 CDS, 91% of enrolled freshmen submitted the SAT, and 32% submitted the ACT. So 23% submitted both, but since all applicants must submit two SAT IIs, you can’t tell if that means that 23% actually took and submitted both the SAT I and the ACT. Interesting that 9% of the enrolled freshmen didn’t (couldn’t?) take SAT IIs as required.</p>
<p>My son’s NMF standing was worth $10,000 to him. He got the $2500 award and the college he chose to attend gave him that amount for the remaining three years. From a purely financial point of view his one Saturday morning was time well spent.</p>
<p>Pertaining to an earlier post in this thread:</p>
<p>12 schools absolutely require SAT Subject tests:
CalTech
CMU
Columbia U
Cornell U
Dartmouth College
Franklin Olin College
Harvard U
Harvey Mudd College
MIT
Princeton U
Webb Institute
Williams College </p>
<p>18 schools require SAT Subject tests if the SAT Reasoning (I) test is submitted but will accept the ACT (with writing) by itself instead of the College Board tests.
Amherst College
Barnard College
Boston College
Boston University
Brown University
Bryn Mawr College
Duke University
Haverford College
McGill University
Pomona College
Rice University
Swarthmore College
Tufts University
University of Pennsylvania
Vassar College
Wellesley College
Wesleyan University
Yale University</p>
<p>24 schools recommend (or “strongly recommend”) that SAT Subject tests be submitted. In some of these cases particular programs in the school (such as ISP at Northwestern) require Subject tests.
Carleton College
Claremont McKenna
Cooper Union
Davidson College
Emory University
Georgetown University
Hollins University
Johns Hopkins University
Lafayette College
Lehigh University
Northwestern University

Occidental College
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Scripps College
Skidmore College
Stanford University
University of Delaware
University of Georgia
University of Southern California
University of Virginia
Vanderbilt University
Washington and Lee University
Washington University in St. Louis</p>
<p>There are also a few schools that require some subject-oriented testing but will accept alternative scores, such as on AP tests, in fulfillment of this requirement.</p>
<p>University of CA system schools no longer require subject tests.</p>
<p>For schools that refuse score-choice with the SAT, all scores earned by the time of order, both Subject and Reasoning, are sent when score reports are ordered.</p>
<p>Advancement to NMF from NMSF requires a “qualifying” SAT score and, thus, requires that the SAT be taken.</p>
<p>not sure if this has been mentioned on the thread yet…but some schools will accept the ACT in lieu of SAT but you need to have taken the ACT Plus w/writing.</p>
