<p>Does Stanford only consider the highest SAT1 scores for each section?
There are two scenarios and idk how each one affects the admission process.</p>
<p>1) All scores go down the 2nd time
2) Only some scores go down.</p>
<p>So... if I got 800 on all sections on 3 trial, will my score be 2400?</p>
<p>Yeah, they take the composite scores. My scores went down the second time in W and CR but it went up in math. I think a secretary or someone probably compiles the highest scores and that's what the adofficers see.</p>
<p>^^ hm, I was under the impression that Stanford sees all the scores but only pays attention to the highest (and records the highest for their records).</p>
<p>That's exactly what fuzzylogic said, kyledavid. The admissions officers don't spend time crunching numbers. Before your application even gets looked at by admissions officers, the highest composite scores are calculated, etc. The admissions officers don't do that sort of thing.</p>
<p>I think everyone is looking way too much into this... SATs don't matter that much, period. I don't think they spend time making a statistical analysis of your score changes and what that could possibly mean.</p>
<p>Stanford takes composite scores.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, if your ACT score is higher than your SAT I score, will this office secretary report ONLY the ACT(or an SAT equivalent) score to the admissions committee, meaning they only see that score, because it's your <em>highest</em> score?</p>
<p>they'll look at the highest SAT and the highest ACT, if you report both.</p>
<p>i would imagin that colleges look at scores a lot, because they are easiest to compare, and SATs are designed to distinguish great people from good people. </p>
<p>or am i totally wrong</p>
