<p>college(on college board) says I have to send all sat scores...</p>

<p>Do I really have to....? I mean, my first time I scored in the 1200's ...that is terrible. Has anyone had to do this or decided not to send all scores? I thought it was not our right to choose to send or not....?</p>

<p>Colleges choose whether or not they want to observe the SAT Score-Choice policy. So if the college wants to see all your SAT scores then you have to send them all. </p>

<p>"Colleges set their own score-use practices, which may vary from college to college. The College Board enables participating colleges to display their SAT score-use practices directly to students on collegeboard.com. This information is presented at the time that students are asked to send scores. " -From collegeboard website.</p>

<p>are the scores you’re sending much higher than the 1200?</p>

<p>Here’s a pdf that shows colleges and their score-use practices</p>

<p>my highest score:1770
my best overall superscore: 1800</p>

<p>I can understand where you’re coming from by not wanting to submit the low SAT score, but if the college is requesting to see all SAT scores then you have to send them.</p>

<p>To move from 1200 to 1800 is excellent and shows improvement. Do you plan to retake?</p>

<p>Collegeboards policy prevents colleges from seeing your SAT scores if you don’t send them, so it’s up to you whether you want to take that risk.</p>

<p>Any colleges are not stupid. If you got your highest score say in October or June and that’s the only score you send, then it would probably raise suspicion since most kids take the SAT first in March and may.</p>

<p>I would send may may and june scores from my junior year…i retook as a senior but did worse</p>

<p>Before you decide to break the rules and not send all, you better check what your high school does – many put all your test scores on your official high school transcript that is sent to colleges. Thus, simply exercising score choice with College Board may conceal nothing. In fact, in that situation the college will know you tried to violate the rule if College Board does not send all scores but they all show up on your transcript. Also consider that colleges universally claim that they use your highest scores for admission (either that test with highest composite or the highest section scores from multiple tests).</p>

<p>You do not have to send all scores, but you are encouraged to do so. Score choice allows you to send what scores you want. If there is a score discrepancy between what’s on your transcript and what you send, you may be rejected.</p>

<p>…uhhh </p>

<p>But what if students use score choice for those schools require ALL SCORES
Will the schools be able to see that those scores they receive are not all scores?
Will students be regarded as dishonest or break the rule?</p>
