Has anyone used SAT Score Choice on a college that has a "no Score Choice" policy

<p>I am mainly talking about Subject Tests, not the for real SAT; I only took the Reasoning Test once anyway.</p>

<p>I took like 2 Subject Tests I don't like (I got better scores on them later) and for schools like CalTech, Yale, and Columbia, the policy is that Score Choice is not an option; all scores must be sent. But of course, when you go to turn in your scores via College Board, they don't say anything. The most they say is to check with each school for the Subject Tests.</p>

<p>Has anyone ever used Score Choice for such colleges on the SAT Subject Test and gotten accepted? I've looked through other posts on CC and everything was speculation; I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Why would you want to risk rejection by blatantly ignoring instructions or, to put a finer point on it, cheating? Even if you cynically view admissions as a game, games don’t work unless everyone follows the rules. It’s time for an integrity gut check.</p>

<p>what about schools that dont want math 1 then u dont send it? so technically u didnt send all scores, but they say they dont want it</p>

<p>Of course use score choice. Just make sure your scores aren’t also on your school transcript so the college won’t find out. Remember: Nice people finish last. Don’t be a fool.</p>

<p>I don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. It is being dishonest, but I don’t believe that using it will help your application in any way, it just hides scores you’ve taken in the past, it doesn’t discredit what you’ve already done.</p>

<p>if u aint cheating u aint tryin</p>

<p>Ugh, what’s gotten into people these days? I agree with pbr. Don’t do it.</p>

<p>I never even considered this. I just assumed (and still kind of do) that they would somehow be able to tell you didn’t send them all in. </p>

<p>Wouldn’t they?</p>

<p>I agree with pbr and altec_lansing. I sincerely doubt that using score choice will significantly improve your chances. If you do use it, however, and you’re actually accepted into the school…do you want to spend every day wondering if you’re unworthy of your school, or your classmates, because you cheated in the admissions process? Twenty years from now, do you want to wonder if you fairly got into your dream school? Even if the schools never find out, I strongly believe there will eventually be personal repercussions.</p>

<p>^lol I don’t think the OP will be so troubled. It seems like s/he is more concerned with looking good & getting in than anything. If they even consider using Score Choice when they’re not supposed to, I don’t think their conscience will be plagued by such thoughts.</p>

<p>My advice: DON’T DO IT. </p>

<p>I never even questioned this and sent all scores when required. It’s ALWAYS better to be honest.</p>
