<p>Last night, we [launched[/url</a>] the "beta" version of our new College Visit Report feature.</p>

<p>CC member warblersrule86 posted the [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/crep/www/report_view.html?report_id=086e638840dd45f3cd08a8403f15a4e1%5Dvery"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/crep/www/report_view.html?report_id=086e638840dd45f3cd08a8403f15a4e1]very&lt;/a> first report](<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=222279%5Dlaunched%5B/url"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=222279), which happened to be for Duke.</p>

<p>Oddly, every report that has been posted so far has been for a unique college; we don't have any schools with multiple reports. We'd like to see how our summaries by college work, and get some feedback on it. So, if you'd like to tell others about your visit to Duke (or any other school) go to our college</a> visit report area and click "Post Report".</p>

<p>You can view the summary of Duke</a> Visits, though as I write this there's only one to summarize. If you have some feedback, there are threads in the Community and Forum Issues area for bug reports and suggestions. Thanks!</p>

<p>Up to two, thanks, loveduke22!</p>

<p>There seems to be many suggestions that they create new composite scores with multiple tests submitted.</p>

<p>I was at Duke yesterday, and the admissions officer stated very clearly that they do NOT superscore ACT (only take best composite), but they do superscore the SAT</p>

<p>I have a question - I took the SAT and got 2000. What does superscoring mean? I’m international and I am not that familiar with the scoring, weighted/unweighted GPA etc.</p>

<p>Basically, if u took the SAT two times and these were your scores:</p>

<p>CR: 700 Writing: 710 Math:610 Total: 2020
CR: 670 Writing: 750 Math: 610 Total: 2030</p>

<p>A school that does not superscore will probably take the 2030 score.
A school that does superscore will see your scores like this:
CR: 700 Writing: 750 Math:610 Total: 2060</p>

<p>So, essentially, superscoring is to your advantage and usually would not hurt you.</p>

<p>Yes, but they are superscoring the test results for everyone, so you are at a relative disadvantage if your scores are consistent.</p>
