I'm only sending my SAT to some colleges. Should I still self-report them?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>My ACT score (35) is better than my SAT score (2270) but I'm still sending my SAT score to some colleges since I want to show I can write (780, 11 SAT vs. 31, 8 ACT). The only reason I'm not sending my SAT score to all colleges is because of my critical reading score (690). I just think a 690 CR with a 780 W is worse than a 36 Reading with a 31 English/Writing. Some of the colleges I'm applying to are not going to reject me based off of a 690 CR score, but some others (i.e. Ivy League schools) might. Thus, I'm sending SAT scores to only some of my commonapp schools. Which leads me to the question...</p>

<p>I know you aren't allowed to go back and change anything on the commonapp once you've submitted it to your first college. So, should I completely leave the self-report SAT scores section blank and have some of the colleges only see my official SAT scores? Or, should I self-report my SAT scores and just not send the official reports to the Ivy league schools? I know colleges aren't supposed to base judgement off of any self-reported scores but I'm not sure if I even want to chance showing my SAT scores there for the Ivy League schools.</p>

<p>You CAN make different versions on the common app. I have one for ACT and one for ACT/SAT.</p>

<p>Yes, you can change the Common Application once you’ve sent it to the first school, and No you don’t have to self report anything. You know, you’re obviously a smart kid (Great scores!), so read the instructions!</p>

<p>When I clicked on the signature section it said, “I understand that once my application has been submitted it may not be altered in any way; I will need to contact my colleges directly if I wish to provide additional information.” I took that to mean that once I hit submit for one college, the application couldn’t be altered for any other colleges. But now I see how to make different versions. Well, no more problems now. Thanks for the correction.</p>
