Cornell not using the SAT score choice??

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I read this on a information packet from Cornell.. that they don't use the Collegeboard's SAT score choice option.</p>

<p>So far, I've taken the SAT Reasoning Test three times. I have taken four subject tests, and I've taken every test twice except for Japanese. </p>

<p>Did I retake too much? How much will this affect someone's chance of admission?</p>

<p>Is there no way to hide one of your scores??
Does it mean I HAVE to report all of them on my application, or I can just write the two or three best ones and they'll see my other ones anyway but won't care too much about it?</p>

2

<p>you have to report all scores</p>

3

<p>…so for clarification: if i took a test twice, I list both scores?? </p>

<p>And if my scores didnt go up a lot, or worst case scenario, went down about 20 points, would that hurt my admission chance?/</p>

4

<p>yea you list both scores
i dun think it would depending on which sections went up/down</p>

<p>They only look at your best scores.</p>

<p>Granted, whether they see all of your scores or not, I don’t know. That means that they might see even your bad ones, and it could raise some flags if there are terrible ones, even if they’re supposed to ignore them.</p>

6

<p>My lowest score on any of them was 650 and 670. Are these terrible enough?</p>

7

<p>not at all</p>

8

<p>My lowest was a 640. Lowest ACT was 28 and and 29. I got accepted.</p>

9

<p>If I submit my subject tests, will they see my SAT score? I have a 33 ACT but my SAT is way worse than that.</p>

10

<p>yeah if you submit your subject tests they’ll see your sat I too, unless you do score choice, but cornell isn’t doing that apparently. </p>

<p>dont worry if they see a bad score though, unless its like 1200/2400 or something.</p>

11

<p>I got a 2000 on my SAT. Do you think they will weigh that in with my ACT?
And should I retake a 33?</p>

12

<p>2000 is fine, so is 33. you do NOT need perfect scores to get in…</p>

13

<p>The average admitted Cornell student has 2110 SAT and the average enrolled Cornell student has 2080. A score of 2000 would place you in the 34% percentile, making you less competitive than the average admitted student.</p>

14

<p>Wow, Cornell isn’t using the score choice option? I thought every college/university would be forced to comply.</p>

15

<p>most aren’t using it</p>

16

<p>yes reptil, but his 33 act should outweigh that. and i’m assuming a 33 is around a 2200?</p>
