<p>I had no idea they superscored the ACT. Will they superscore the english/writing subscore? Because that would rock.</p>

<p>...frustrating, to say the least</p>
<p>Modadunn- You don't need to submit that much testing. Either SAT I & 2 SAT II -or- ACT w/ writing is good enough. They probably didn't even glance at my SAT scores, since they were unofficial. When I asked, the dean said they honestly had no preference between ACT and SAT, so whichever you do better on. :)</p>
<p>My D2 did not submit ANY SATs, either self reported or through CollegeBoard. Her SATs were fine (not great) but one of her SAT II (USHistory - like your son's latin) was awful. Because CollegeBoard sends everything, we were concerned about Amherst seeing the bad scores. Since her ACTs were good, we decided not to send SATs at all. </p>
<p>On the Amherst applicant website, they list all scores sent as "Highest" or "Notational". Yes, there is no recalculated superscore. Both composites say "Notational". The "Highests" are a combination of the two sittings with the Highest scores noted regardless of the test date.</p>
<p>I feel confident that we did the right thing by not sending any SATs. (But I'll let you know when the letter arrives.) However, one grain of salt, my D2 is a recruited athlete (though I'm still worried and concerned as it is my nature).</p>
<p>recruited athletes shouldn't have a problem :)</p>
<p>Probably should create an entire new thread since this should really be all about.. "I GOT IN" But so so helpful I can't even tell you.</p>
<p>Shesonherway... Can I PM you re the recruited Athlete aspect?</p>
<p>I just got my letter-accepted!</p>
<p>Great luck people</p>
<p>Deferred. What a blow...</p>
<p>Lentigradss - where are you located?</p>
<p>i live in NYC. they sent them out on thursday-i called</p>
<p>Thanks Lentigradss....we were all under the impression that they got sent out Friday morning.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your acceptance.</p>
<p>How about your stats?</p>
<p>Congrats Lentigradss!</p>
<p>heeey everybody! i also applied early, from Puerto Rico! the wait is horrible, and I just checked the mail... nothing! i hate waiting for the mail!!</p>
<p>I just got accepted via regular mail!! I live in southern CT if anyone wants to know.</p>
<p>Congrats Eklipse91!!! :)</p>
<p>As of this moment, I'm loathing living in CA. Ugh. Congratulations to everyone...so far it seems like a lot of good news?</p>
<p>I would guess that you'd hear on Monday if they were mailed out Thursday. Seems like mostly good news so far. We haven't had any rejections yet right?</p>
<p>A deferral is almost as bad...</p>
<p>A deferral is definitely not almost as bad. In recent days (since a lot of my classmates have heard from the Ivies), I've actually come to view deferrals as fairly positive. It's saying "Hey you have a chance!" I've known some really qualified people who have gotten outright rejected.</p>
<p>Cali... try Puerto Rico! a different island altogether! i'm sooo nervous, and i have finals all next week! </p>
<p>i agree, deferrals are a way to keep your hope alive. although i don't know if i want to be deferred just to be rejected...</p>
<p>i just want my letter to arrive =)</p>
