<p>I was wondering how certain colleges that claim that they will not accept Score Choice could possibly enforce their demand? I feel like its only fair that if the ACT allows you to send the scores of your chosing then colleges should be able to accept the same from the collegeboard. Is anyone actually planning to disregard the "Score Choice rule" of colleges?</p>
<p>Two ways I can think of. First, some high schools include your standardized test scores on your transcript. If yours does, then not only will the colleges you apply to have access to all your scores, but more importantly, they’ll know you lied on your application if you submitted only some of your scores after certifying that you were submitting all of them. That, it seems to be, is grounds for automatic disqualification.</p>
<p>Second, the College Board routinely sells colleges lists of students who took the SAT (or who scored above a certain level). That’s how all those colleges get your name and address for all that junk mail they send you. I don’t know exactly how that information comes packaged, but if it’s sorted by test date, then the colleges already have your test dates in a computerized data base, which they can easily match up to the test dates you submit with your application. No match, automatic disqualification—at least that’s what I would do if I were trying to enforce such rules.</p>
<p>That’s really stupid. If colleges are claiming to look at your highest score only why do they want every single score it makes NO sense. Do you think they would tell you if they found out about score choice or would they just reject you directly?</p>

<p>^^^Thanks absent, that’s interesting to see coming straight from an adcom. I can’t find the link, but I recall reading something similar from the head of admissions at Yale.</p>
<p>You can choose not to have your name distributed to colleges, just don’t mark the box when you take tests.</p>
<p>However, I’m wondering if there’s one more way that schools would know if students used score choice or not. While the CB is only the distributor of scores and does not mediate between the student and what colleges ask for, is it possible that they indicate “Score choice” when it is used?? Just a thought.</p>

<p>Actually when you go to send scores to a school it will say on the score selection page “This institution requires all scores to be sent” and you have to send all of your SAT scores. Though I do believe it’s still possible to prevent some(or all) of your subject tests from being sent, I just sent all my subject test scores. I sent scores a few days ago.</p>
<p>Really, so Collegeboard won’t let you use score choice if the institution has decided not to allow it? Can anyone else verify this?</p>
<p>after checking again, CB pre-selects all of your SAT Reasoning scores if the college requires all of them. if you try to un-mark(meaning remove) a score, you are shown a warning message telling you to make sure you understand the school’s policy. if you click okay the score is removed. </p>
<p>So CB deters people from breaking the rules, but they don’t enforce the rules</p>
<p>Of course, you can always just send the ACT scores and keep college board out of it completely.</p>
<p>^I think because of CB’s new policy change, some colleges want all ‘test’ scores. So that might mean you have to send all of your ACT scores as well but I am not sure.</p>
<p>As to scores required you will need to check with particular college. Some have mentioned requiring all SAT and ACT scores. Yale, which has now published its rule [Instructions</a> for Reporting Your Scores | Application to Yale College | Freshmen | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/score_reporting.html]Instructions”>http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/application/score_reporting.html), may represent what might become the norm for the minority of colleges that will require all scores. At Yale, to be considered for admission you can submit SAT and two SAT IIs or, alternatively, just the ACT. If you submit SAT and SAT IIs, you must provide all SAT and SAT II scores but you need not provide any ACT scores. If you submit ACT, you must provide all ACT scores but need not provide any SAT or SAT II scores. If you decide to submit both SAT and ACT, you must provide all scores.</p>
<p>This whole score choice game p*sses me off worse than anything else colleges and Collegeboard do.</p>
<p>For schools that let you choose, do you have to send all three scores from one sitting or can you choose CR from one date and M from another, for example?</p>
<p>You have to send the whole SAT from one date. So, for schools that superscore, you send all of the dates and they select the top scores. You can however select individual SAT IIs to send, even if you take more than one on a date. See the first FAQ:</p>

<p>That’s interesting and really makes score choice less valuable IMO–they end up seeing more than most want them to.</p>
