<p>What are some good schools that take your composite SAT score?</p>
<p>I would like to compile a list, but all I know right now is Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>Not sure what the question is. All the colleges in the top 200 to 300 or so accept the SAT test for admission except Brigham Young which requires the ACT. Some colleges like Georgetown and many state colleges will not be relying on the writing section and others will probably be looking at the writing section cautiously this year because of a lack of experience with it.</p>
<p>A composite score takes the best score for each of your sections, not your best score in one sitting.</p>
<p>Actually, a composite score is simply your total score on an SAT test. You are asking which colleges take your highest subscores from multiple tests to determine a composite. The majority do that. If you are aware of the USNews rankings, most in the top 50 do that except the UC's and Illinois which consider your highest score from a single sitting.</p>
<p>or simply your "best composite"</p>
<p>and most schools do. except for the abovementioned schools.</p>
<p>Most schools take your highest score, regardless of the sitting. There are a few notable exceptions. The college's websites would give this information, or their application.</p>
<p>I thought that UPenn didn't...</p>
<p>Okay, here's a scenario:</p>
<p>My "best composite" is 2360
My highest in one-sitting is 2240.</p>
<p>Should I retake? I would really like colleges to see 2300+ in order to be a competitive applicant.</p>
<p>I personally think you would be a little overly paranoid retaking, because obviously you've taken it more than once. I think your scores are fine, especially if they take the highest. There is not too much difference between a 2240 and a 2300.</p>
<p>My top college choices are:
UPenn
Harvard
Stanford
Johns Hopkins
Columbia
UChicago</p>
<p>Would they mark me as having a 2360?</p>
<p>I would assume unless explicity stated that they all would look at your best achieved score.</p>
<p>Meh.. I'm insecure with assuming. =/</p>
<p>Then I would suggest you check your application instructions or their website. They will have it listed.</p>
