Do all or at least most schools superscore?

<p>It seems that they do but I am only going on what my S. told me. It is important because by doing that it brings his score up almost 80 points. If you know please share.
Thanks.</p>

<p>The vast majority of schools superscores because of ranking. If they do not superscore, they’ll be at disadvantage when submitting SAT average.</p>

3

<p>Most schools superscore. Admissions offices at your son’s target schools can confirm their policies (they don’t mind being asked.)</p>

<p>let’s maybe make a list of schools known to superscore for everyone’s convenience:</p>

<p>most obviously,</p>

<p>Harvard
-seen it somewhere on these boards.</p>

<p>Yale

<p>Princeton

<p>Dartmouth

<p>MIT

<p>I can’t find the superscore policy on the websites of Brown, Stanford, Cornell and Duke. Does anyone know?</p>

5

<p>So wait, most schools DO superscore? (like top 50 schools according to USNWR)</p>

6

<p>My S. is not applying to ivies, though its great to hear that they do too! He is applying to VILLANOVA, BU, BC, MIAMI, MICHIGAN,NORTHEASTERN, ETC…anyone know about those?</p>

<p>ctmomof3: your S is applying to similar unis as me! For BU, BC and Miami i <em>think</em> they superscore, my top 2 are michigan and USC. USC superscores too…(from what my frds told me) but michigan only takes the highest score from a single sitting. if you go to the FAQ part of the umich website and type in SAT as a keyword..they’ll say it. I guess the bigger the uni is (michigan had an undergraduate class of 6000 this year), the less time they have trying to superscore SAT scores since there are a lot of ppl applying and their acceptance rate is 47%, which is unusually high for a top uni. I think they just wanna see right away the highest SAT score you can accomplish in one sitting…so i think it depends on the size of the school as well.</p>

8

<p>I’m not so sure size makes a difference. UMD is large as well and they superscore.</p>

9

<p>lol… i actually listed colleges with typically 20000 applicants each that do superscore. if they let trivial administrative like difficulty in calculating superscores affect their admissions process, i don’t think it’s worth applying to.</p>

<p>Well then it’s really up to the college i guess. but i know for a fact Um doesn’t superscore</p>
