General Questions about Test Scores for Stanford

<p>Hello,
Will Stanford accept my December test scores? I believe that the deadline for applying is on January 1, so will they arrive on time? </p>

<p>Does it hurt that I am applying for the regular deadline rather than the early action deadline?</p>

<p>Can I get a confirmation that Stanford only needs either the ACT or SAT test results?</p>

<p>Should I retake my SAT(1920) or ACT(31), or both?</p>

<p>You should definitely retake either your SAT or ACT. Concentrate on one test and try to improve on it. I'd probably do the ACT since your ACT seems to be easier to you. However you should also take two SAT II tests as they are recommended.</p>

<p>Two SAT IIs are strongly recommended, with one of them being Math II.</p>

<p>Applying RD as opposed to SCEA will not hurt you.</p>

<p>I think you should retake ACT and take 2 SAT IIs.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks.
I'll try to get my ACT up to 34+ and have Stanford listed on for the college choices.
Also, I've already taken SAT II Chemistry and got a 720. For Stanford standards, I know that a 720 would be very low, but how much would that hurt my chances? I'm going to try to get 780+ scores on Math II/Physics.</p>

<p>Would they allow me to take two different SAT II in two different sittings?</p>

<p>I'm very confident about my EC's and teacher recs. I'll write about my internet business for one of my essays. I also used to do freelance work (graphics, programming, and writing). Physics team and math team. There's other stuff, but I'm more focused on getting my test scores up. Thank you very much.</p>

<p>One more question. If I list Stanford as one of the colleges when I take the SAT II subject tests, will they also see my SAT scores?</p>

<p>^Stanford doesn't have any preference for what subject tests you take. So you don't have to take math 2 if you don't want to. However, they do say that if you take a math subject test, they don't want to see math 1 and would prefer math 2.</p>

<p>Oh, I'm definitely taking math. It's my strongest subject.</p>

<p>They let you take up to three different subject tests for the SATs in one sitting.</p>

<p>720 is a good enough score.</p>

<p>Stanford does "strongly recommend" 2 SAT IIs, one of which they want to be Math II (or at least that is how it used to be for several years).</p>

<p>You can take between 1 and 3 SAT IIs in each sitting.</p>

<p>Once you send any SAT score, all the previous scores are sent as well. (This is changing, but I am not sure how soon the "score choice " will come into effect)</p>

<p>Just doublechecked the website to check on whether or not they will accept Math I or only Math II. It says you may submit Math I scores and if you feel that your school had adequately prepared you for Math II, they are happy to see it. I agree that they like to see Math II, but they did not say you cannot submit a Math I score.</p>

<p>Testing</a> Requirements : Stanford University</p>

<p>"For those applicants who elect to take a SAT Subject Test in the area of math, we recommend taking Math IIC if you feel that your math background has adequately prepared you for that test."</p>

<p>Hypothetically let's say I made a 35 on my ACT and 800s on my Math II and Physics.
The two SAT Subject tests will arrive at Stanford with my 1920 SAT and my 720 Chemistry. Will Stanford take those poor scores into consideration? I would love if they could ignore them.</p>

<p>they will only consider your highest scores.</p>

<p>When I am filling out the Common App form, and they ask me for my SAT and ACT scores, should I list my mediocre scores? or should I just list the test dates for the tests I'm going to take?</p>

<p>The dates for the tests you will take.</p>

<p>Considering that I moved to the US a few years ago and English isn't my forte, what are the chances I will get into Stanford with the following test scores:
SAT reasoning test CR:640 M: 750 W: 710
SAT subject test : MIIC: 750 and I will be taking chemistry later</p>

<p>10%, just like most everyone else.</p>

<p>"Applicants, however, who choose not to take SAT Subject Tests will not be at a disadvantage in the admission process. "</p>

<p>taken from their site… i dont believe this. lol</p>

<p>oh sorry. i didnt mean to revive this topic. i was searching for info on subject test score submission.</p>
