<p>Okay so there's a problem, and I need to know WHAT to do:</p>
<p>So, I'm using Common App to apply to three schools. School A requires ALL SAT SCORES to be sent. School B and C require only just one and allows me to use score choice. This creates a big problem because I just registered for the December SAT's a couple days ago, which would be my 4th time taking the SAT's. By using score choice, I can HIDE the three other scores and just list one SAT date (my best one) on the "Tests" section of the Common Application. Using the same application/info for all the three colleges on Common App creates a big problem because then if I only list one SAT date on the "Tests" section, the school that requires all scores to be sent will know I'm hiding the other three scores (Cuz they'll know anyways if they get all my scores on Collegeboard). To prevent this problem, I'm just thinking about sending all my three scores to School A NOW to get it over with, which comfortably allows me to list only ONE SAT DATE AND SCORE on Common App for School B and C since I'm using score choice for two of those schools. I'm not applying to wait until my December scores are out and send all FOUR scores to School A because I'm worried the school might think I've taken the SAT's too many times. Should I do this? Is it ok?</p>
<p>Can’t you just not self-report and then do what you said above? is self-reporting mandatory on common app?
send all three to school A now and send only one score date for B…</p>
<p>the whole self-reporting thing sounds too complicated given the different schools and with/without score choice…annoying too…</p>
<p>^What do you mean by self-report? If you go to the “Tests” section on Common App (after you type your name, address, school code, and all that), it asks you to list all the dates you have taken/planning to take the SAT’s. For school B and C, can I list just the date of the SAT I did best on???</p>
<p>I still don’t know if you HAVE to report this stuff…what if you had test optional schools? I guess you can just list the date you did best on…I don’t think you have to, but if you are in a time crunch, that makes sense…I still don’t think that section is mandatory; reports from college board still are the only way the schools really see your scores…</p>
<p>I’m not a college counselor; maybe someone else can chime in…</p>
