<p>im about to send my scores, and i chose which ones i want to send. but it says "THIS COLLEGE OR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT YOU SEND ALL SCORES"</p>
<p>does the uc system really not allow you to use score choice? i was almost completely sure they let you...</p>
<p>UCs don’t accept score choice</p>
<p>Only for the SAT and subject tests though.</p>
<p>UCs do not like score choice. That is their policy.</p>
<p>If they say “no” to score choice, no means no. Do note that if they find out that you utilized score choice (and colleges have unusual ways to find out if students use score choice), there will be severe consequences.</p>
<p>^Actually, no one has ever been caught and their score choice policy only applies to the Collegeboard’s score choice.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’d be surprised how many people get caught red-handed using CB’s score choice option, for those that apply to colleges that have explicit “no score choice” policies. Never underestimate what colleges can do and see. Even though they are not supposed to know if you use score choice, they find out through other ways. And there are severe consequences for those who are caught. (This applies to other colleges with similar “no score choice” policies)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what I meant. Sorry if I didn’t clarify. :P</p>
<p>my question is…when u don’t check a box it says SOME of your scores were sent. But what if that score was Math 1 and it still says only some were sent.</p>
<p>okay thank you! i just turned everything in…</p>
<p>
I doubt this. There’s no way that they can know. Collegeboard’s website directly states this:
</p>
<p>As stated, all schools must accept score choice, but they don’t have to agree with it. There is absolutely nothing they can do as they cannot possibly reject it. If a school were to find out using dubious means (I don’t know how they would in the first place), that would be infact an invasion of privacy and a very serious legal offense.</p>
<p>That said, you should still send all scores for the purpose of integrity.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They can know. </p>
<p>One example of this is high schools putting SAT/ACT scores on their own transcripts. If they look at the official CB score report and notice a major discrepancy between both of the scores provided, well there goes the admissions offer. If this scenario happened, it would be a major fail on the student’s part. (ignorance on the student’s part). And this method is OK.</p>
<p>However, colleges have other ways - besides the example listed above - to find out if you use score choice. Now I do not know exactly how they do this, but they do have ways where they can find out the applicant’s score. Yes, its unfair, but the end justify the means: if they see discrepancies, they will come down hard. Especially with the colleges that do not like score choice.</p>
<p>And this has happened to applicants who decide to defy the college’s wishes regarding score choice. There’s plenty of those horror stories I’ve heard. </p>
<p>Either way, my point is: don’t screw around with colleges that explicitly state that they do not honor score choice. They really mean it when they say that.</p>
<p>
Uh, you don’t have to put scores on your transcript.</p>
<p>And no one has ever been caught.
There’s no defying any policy. Collegeboard clearly states that colleges CANNOT reject score choice. By definition, that means all students can use score choice one way or another.</p>
<p>
Then the person can just delete their scores from record if he or she is worried of this; I would like to see a college find a non-existant score.</p>
<p>ACT inc. allows you to delete test scores for whatever reason and I believe that the Collegeboard does too. This would not be going against “non score choice”, so people can just delete scores they don’t want and send all their official scores.</p>
<p>Deleting SAT scores? There’s no such thing. If a test taker didn’t file the score cancellation form within the specified deadline after the test, the score will remain permanently on his/her record.</p>
<p>Well then for the ACT, you can delete scores without a problem as stated on ACT inc.'s faq.</p>
<p>^ Hmm, I can see why the ACT is getting to be a more popular choice among students…</p>
<p>Well, the ACT doesn’t get superscored so there is no benefit of sending all, it costs $10 per tests, and there’s probably like 5 schools that require all ACT scores anyway. A good example is, if someone took the ACT in say middle school for a program or for any particular reason, why the hell would you spend $10 to send the score? If you were sick and felt terrible, why would you spend $10 to send the score? So, logically, you would just delete the scores.</p>
<p>My response, anyway: I, instead of worrying about this, removed every college that requires all ACT scores off my list because i’m not going to spend the money just because a college tells me to send everything; i’ll apply elsewhere and save the money.</p>
