Big mistake on UC and Common App?

Applying to College
1

<p>So my test scores are a 2080 SAT and a 33 ACT. However, I was an idiot and put both scores on my application. As I am now sending my scores, I noticed that 1) I'm about to waste a lot of money 2) my ACT score was much better than my SAT scores, and 3) my SAT score might just hurt me as they see that I got a low score on the SAT (it is for the colleges I am applying to.)</p>

<p>Is there anyway I can undo my actions, such as emailing the admissions over this? I really do not want to send my SAT 1 scores, but made the mistake of listing it on my applications.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>It depends on whether a college requires that you send score reports for all tests you’ve taken, most do not. If the school requires a score report for either the SAT or ACT, then you don’t have to send a SAT score report even though you listed them on your app.</p>

<p>Schools will consider your best score.</p>

<p>Admissions will place greater weight on the higher score,which is your ACT score.</p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>So for the UC system, for example, I wrote both my SAT and ACT score on the app. So basically, its fine if I only send my ACT score and not my SAT?</p>

<p>The UC wording:</p>

<p>[University</a> of California - The examination requirement](<a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/examination-requirement/index.html]University”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/examination-requirement/index.html)</p>

<p>Looks like you’re fine with just the ACT score report. But I’m not a UC expert, hopefully someone familiar with UC admissions will reply, or you could call and ask.</p>
