Does Yale superscore?

Applying to College

<p>I'm worried about this because my Critical Reading score and my writing score improve a lot, but my Mathematics score also drops from 770 to 660.
They say</p>

<p>"In some cases an applicant’s testing history can provide useful contextual information to the admissions committee. Although the committee works with summary information that focuses attention on the highest officially reported scores you attained on each section of the SAT I, the highest scores on individual subject tests and/or the highest ACT composite score, committee members and the readers of your application will have access to a full history of all officially reported scores"</p>

<p>I read that to mean they look at all scores…and don’t cherry pick.
Perhaps (don’t know) they average the scores…</p>

<p>and they are looking at the scores in context with your transcript
—so if your scores are wildly different from what they’d expect based on the transcript-- perhaps they wonder if there is grade deflation or grade inflation etc…</p>

<p>or
if they know the school by reputaton is very difficult and your transcript is good and your scores on one testing were “off” and low–they might think you were having a bad day/were tired etc and consider it an outlier from your typical abilities…'</p>

<p>just my 2 cents…</p>

<p>“Does Yale superscore?” No. They want to see all scores of all test sittings.</p>

<p>Frankly they want to know that you’re not some SAT addict who takes it 4-5 times just to eke out another 20 pts.</p>

<p>but my scores drop a lot. Will it affect my application if I have a good one but also a bad one in my score?</p>

<p>I also have a 800 in mathematics level 2 and A+ in an AP Calculus BC class</p>
