I thought I read somewhere that Harvey Mudd requires all of your standardized test scores (though for some reason I can’t find the notice right now).
My question is - if DD has taken the SAT twice and the ACT once - can she just send in (all) of her ACT scores? Or does she have to send all 3 of her SAT + ACT scores?
I can’t find any historical version where it does say they require all scores.
So I’m confused. Didn’t I read it somewhere on Mudd’s site? And if it was there but it’s not anymore - why would they have taken it down?
And how is someone who is applying supposed to know??? It’s not like I call every college DD is applying to and ask “do you have any hidden requirements not listed on your website?”
That’s pretty incomprehensible to me. Not their policy - but that it’s so poorly documented…
I wonder what fraction of applicants didn’t know / didn’t send in all of their scores, just because they didn’t read some comment on a blog post… If Mudd accepts them, finds out later, and disqualifies them - that would be pretty horrible of them IMO.
Well it is right there on their required application materials.
However, the blog answer just clarifies it…I understand there can be some question, I know when my son applied we weren’t sure if we should turn in 2 SAT Subject tests (required) or all 3 that he took. We emailed them, they responded all 3. So really “all” means “all”.
I remember when we applied it was pretty clear they wanted all scores, so it must have been on there then. With the change (wrt writing scores) they might have accidentally removed it and are now getting a lot of questions so they remembered to put it back. Though since ED applications were due a month ago, I think they would have noticed before now.
I also noticed the question was asked and answered in that blog last July as well as the Oct answer we already posted.
