Do all colleges accept super score?!?!??!?

Applying to College

<p>What is superscore, and b/c I didn't do well on my first SAT, can I choose which score from a part of the SATs to send...</p>

2

<p>As far as I know all colleges superscore the SAT. They take the best score of each part to get the highest total. You don’t need to do anything but send all the scores.</p>

<p>Not so. Yale doesn’t accept superscored SATs. There are others too.</p>

<p>The UCs do not superscore. They use the highest single-sitting.

<p>Not sure whether OP is asking about superscoring or score choice which are two very different things. Superscoring is when a college will consider for admission your highest subscores from the combination of more than one SAT test if you submit more than one. Most but not all private colleges superscore (and that actually does include Yale). Most but not all public universities do not; they instead use that particular test with the highest composite.</p>

<p>Score Choice means that when you ask College Board to send your official SAT scores to a college you can elect not to send the scores from one or more tests if you have taken multiple tests. CB’s default position is that it always sends all SAT and SAT II scores it has for you if you request any test to be sent, but you can elect score choice and leave one or more of those off the send to be made to the college. With CB’s score choice you don’t get the choice to send chosen section scores of an SAT test. Score choice allows you to choose not to send a particular test (the whole thing) but it does not allow you to just send, for example, your critical reading score from an SAT.</p>

<p>Many colleges have adopted a rule that you are prohibited from exercising score choice if you are applying to that college, i.e., you must send all your SAT and SAT II scores.</p>
