<p>According to the SAT Q&A (SAT</a> Score Choice Q and A with Laurence Bunin),
[quote]
As a matter of integrity, students are expected to follow college admissions policies, and the same is true with respect to a student's sending of test scores to colleges. Students are responsible for complying with the admissions requirements of the colleges, universities and scholarship programs to which they apply. Colleges set their own policies and practices regarding the use of test scores. The College Board does not release SAT test scores without student consent. This will continue under Score Choice. Colleges, universities and scholarship programs will receive the scores applicants send to them.
<p>If you go to your scores profile on the collegeboard website, and you pick a school that demands all scores (for example, NYU). If you go to select scores, it says in big bold letters, "this college requires that all scores be sent". However, if you decide to uncheck one of the scores, it just prompts you, warning you that it's against the college's score use policy, but it lets you do it anyway.</p>
<p>Apparently, this is because colleges are not legally allowed to force collegeboard to send test scores unless you allow them to.</p>
<p>Does this mean that score choice is really for all schools? It seems like they would never even know...all they can do is "ask" you to send all scores.</p>
<p>Perhaps the official score report will have some sort of indication of whether score choice was used or not. Better not to tempt it. Colleges have a way of inadvertently finding out about stuff sometimes.</p>
<p>A lot of colleges superscore anyways, so its better that you adhere to their policies. Don’t get yourself rejected for not following a simple policy.</p>
<p>I just called collegeboard, and inquired about this. He told me that he wasn’t allowed to tell me yes or no, whether collegeboard supports it, but he basically said that there’s no way the colleges would know.</p>
<p>He told me that there’s no “Score Choice!” mark on the score report, it looks completely normal. He said that technically, if the college was really suspicious, they could call your high school and ask what scores they have. But I (as well as many other people) didn’t send my high school any of my scores. He also explained that if they call collegeboard, they will not release any information.</p>
<p>I only took the SAT’s once, but the only reason I may need this is because my ACT’s were WAYYY better, but I still want to report SAT Subject tests. It’s stupid that they make you report SAT reasoning when you only want to report subjects. For the colleges that want all scores, it should be all or none, our choice.</p>
<p>Anyway, it’s kind of funny how this turned out. He basically said that there was a legal loophole, because some colleges want all scores, but collegeboard is not legally allowed to release scores without the student’s consent, so they can withhold scores, even against a college’s wishes.</p>
<p>He also said that many students have already done this (violate a university’s score-use policy)</p>
<p>So technically that means that if u use score choice to a university that doesn’t allow it (i.e. U Penn), UPenn will not be able to tell u used score choice?</p>
<p>My question is the same as gabiot1616. I took a subject test in freshman year that I did not so great in. I won’t be planning on taken that particular subject test again and taking three completely different ones, so I was wondering if I could choose not to send it in.</p>
<p>You aren’t obligated to send all your SAT II scores, or any for that matter unless there is a quantitative requirement. Of course no one knows this for sure because no one has applied to every college in the world. But as a general guideline, you are allowed to pick which subject tests to send. I’d say there is no school out there that wants all your subject test scores (there’s really no incentive to do so), but I have no proof.</p>
<p>crazybandit - Thanks for your input! I’ve been searching mad crazy all over this forum (maybe not hard enough) for any proof that a college will want to see ALL of your subject tests. </p>
<p>I heard that it’s fine for Stanford because they don’t require any subject tests. But what about the colleges that do? Does score choice apply? But thank you for telling me this!</p>
<p>^ Call collegeboard and they will give you the same answer. It is impossible for them to know, and yes this includes both the SAT and SAT 2 tests.</p>
<p>^Yes, mechanically, it is impossible for them to know since you are the one sending the scores. The College Board website will warn you when you don’t check (on a checklist) all of your SAT I scores that one of the schools you’re sending to does not accept score choice. However, the site allows you to ignore the warning and still follow through. However, not to scare you or anything, I speculate that there is some way that colleges could find out that you didn’t send all your scores. Naviance, an online tool that compiles the stats of students that apply to and get accepted to each college to help future applicants (I think you can only use it if your school uses it and refers you), for some reason got my SAT scores without my knowing. I have no idea how they did so, but there is some gray area. I’ve read that some people have seen their SAT scores on their transcripts before as well. </p>
<p>I am just speculating. I am not saying that you should send all your scores. I am just saying that there is some risk (based on my impression of these things). I may be wrong.</p>
<p>^ Luckily my school is not registered with naviance. lol. And I already have told my GC to remove all scores from my transcript since they are not suppose to be on the transcript in the first place. I will make sure that everything is in place before I allow my school to send anything.</p>
<p>So, can someone clarify if colleges CAN access our naviance accounts and therefore our SAT scores? Because my school does not include SAT scores on transcripts, but they do on naviance.</p>
