How can I find out how each college judges SAT scores? (superscore, all scores, best only, etc.)

<p>I can't find this info in the college websites. Any other ideas?</p>

2

<p>Call and ask?</p>

<p>Well, that was my last resort. lol I just wanted to know if there was a website or other resource I was missing. </p>

<p>Probably not, no. Just call them- quickest and most accurate that way.
Email if you want but calling is going to be quicker. </p>

<p>Yes, collegeboard has the list somewhere on their website</p>

<p>Thanks, vanillathunder! Found it on the collegeboard site. </p>

<p>Now here’s another question. If someone takes the SAT and does badly, but does better the next time, will a school who wants all scores hold that first score against them? Or will they view it as a student that worked hard to improve? Of course, each school is different, but in all of your general experience, which do you think is more likely?</p>

<p>I just googled “XYZ University SAT score choice” and clicked on the links that were directly on the colleges’ websites. I had no problem finding out the specific policies for all the schools he applied to. They were all slightly different so it’s best to take the time to check each one.</p>
