<p>Your score will be deleted from CB's records unless you request otherwise.</p>
<p>yes they're going to look back at your 8th grade SAT score and if you didn't get a 2400 you will automatically be rejected and end up living on the streets</p>
<p>^l o l .. there are a lot of topics like this but as far as i know college board will remove it, esp. if you call them up, explain the situation and ask them to.</p>
<p>Actually, the default is to remove scores from the records of test-takers below ninth grade. The case I know best involves an eighth-grader who took the SAT II Math Level 2, and then saw a score of 800 vanish. Ouch! It was possible, within one year of the score vanishing, to get it restored to the student's official record of scores, but it took a lot of contacts to College Board. Many College Board staff members assume scores are "purged" (expunged and thus irretrievable) after they are removed from the permanent record of scores because the test-taker is below ninth grade. College Board considers this default policy a feature, not a bug, because most young test-takers have the worry that prompts this thread.</p>
<p>It doesn't come from the CB, but those students who qualify for JHU CTY SET (now there is a set of acronyms) by scoring above 700 on either section of the SAT before age 13 have their information tracked through a data base; SET sends a letter on behalf of these students to selected colleges at the appropriate time.</p>
<p>Yep, the [Julian</a> C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent<a href="SET">/url</a> is good to have as a back-up verification of a high SAT score by a young test-taker. </p>
<p>However, every year some of those [url=<a href="http://cty.jhu.edu/set/set_faq.html#qual%5DSET-eligible">http://cty.jhu.edu/set/set_faq.html#qual]SET-eligible</a> scores](<a href="http://cty.jhu.edu/set/index.html%5DJulian">http://cty.jhu.edu/set/index.html) may disappear from student records (as has happened in cases I know of), because not everyone who tests at that age knows about SET and young test-takers who test through individual channels or through the Midwest Academic Talent Search do not have their qualifying scores automatically reported to SET. (Thus I am acquainted locally with young people who obtained qualifying scores but who have never been part of SET.) </p>
<p>I wonder how much influence a SET</a> recommendation letter verifying early high scores on the SAT really has on a college admission decision. Maybe it doesn't hurt, but I wonder if it helps much.</p>
