Do I NEED to self report bad scores that were already sent to colleges?( on common app)

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Okay, so the issue is that I took the SAT last year and got a 1550, where I accidentally had it sent to the colleges that I will be applying to. I took the ACT twice after that were pretty good scores which will be self reported + sent to colleges. My question is, do I NEED to self-report my old bad SAT score on the common app (that I already sent a year ago) or can I just pretend it never happened even though it's already sent? If I do report it, will it decrease my chances of getting in to the college?</p>

<p>We are in the same boat.</p>

<p>No, he is not reporting his “bad” scores, he is reporting his top two SAT II scores and his top SAT score from one sitting.</p>

<p>It seems clear to me on the Common App that you can report anything you want to.</p>

<p>Reporting scores on the common app is entirely optional.</p>
