<p>I am tired of looking at my horrible SAT score (1060 didn't send it in) on my college transcript and want to take it again. I know it doesn't mean anything right now and the SAT was a horrible way of predicting my success in college ( I have a 3.81 gpa right now, received a 29 on the ACT).</p>
<p>Will FSU update the score if I send them the new score?</p>
<p>They might - you could try speaking with someone at the registrar's office.</p>
<p>Does it really matter? You could always say later you did not take the SAT seriously.</p>
<p>Be well - keep working hard. You're doing great. :)</p>
<p>They should...I wanted to improve my score on the Math and Reading section, so I called someone from the admissions office. The guy said that FSU takes your highest scores and compares those.</p>
<p>=)</p>
<p>Hope that helps...</p>
<p>Just do what everyone else does when asked about them - lie.</p>
<p>I think you are misunderstanding him. He is currently at FSU, and he wants to transfer to UF. He wants FSU to update his SAT scores so that UF doesn't see that he got a 1060, and would have a better chance of getting admitted as a transfer student.</p>
<p>how do you know that he wants to transfer to UF?</p>
<p>he looked through his post history,lol.</p>
<p>In one of his post he says that he attends UCF and wants to transfer to UF. </p>
<p>COH, do you go to FSU or UCF? and why do you want to transfer to UF?</p>
<p>ohh...my bad :]</p>
<p>I don't understand how your SAT score is on your transcript if you didn't send it in.</p>
<p>Yes, the FSU transcript that goes out for grad school (or transferring) lists the high school SAT and ACT scores. As has been posted on the FSU and UF forums before: your high school transcript lists them whether you want them shared with colleges or not. In the state of Florida, most public high schools have computer generated transcripts that list your grades, all your FCAT scores from 3rd grade, every AP score, all the scores from all the sittings for the SAT and ACT that were reported to your high school, even your immunizations. And the info is available online to the univeristies that use the online access. If you left your high school code OFF of the SAT OR ACT or AP, that is the only way your school does not get them. And if your school pays for you to take your AP exam, you are often not allowed to leave off the high school code. </p>
<p>Even if you decide not to send certain things to UF or FSU or UCF, etc, they get it from your high school. And it becomes a permanent part of your record. </p>
<p>My guess is that, by the time one is a senior in college and applying to grad schools, one might be able to ask that the SAT scores or ACT scores be removed from the transcript, invoking privacy rules etc. It seems silly that they stay on you college transcript.</p>
<p>Thanks for clearing that up, sunnyflorida. My brain just wanted clicking along this morning, because I knew that (minus the immunizations).</p>
<p>I think that colleges (except maybe Ivies/top select colleges in <em>extreme</em> cases) wouldn't really care, and would probably take more consideration to coursework/GPA that late in the game. But since COH123 is transferring to UF/transferring to UCF/not wanting the SAT scores on the transcript as a senior/junior (I'm still a little confused about that part), would the SAT score really matter if the ACT score is better and the GPA is good?</p>
<p>In reference to grad school, I would think most grad school programs would look at your GRE/Miller Analogies/GMAT/LSAT/other entrance exams (depends on the program/school) more closely than to look at an SAT score taken at least 5 five years beforehand. Sure, the scores still stay on the transcript, but it seems unnecessary to look at it.</p>
<p>To COH123, I pose these questions: would you really want to spend several hours preparing for the SATs again (possibility spending money on new test materials/tutoring programs...I'm judging by your score that you're apart of the old SAT generation and probably not familiar with the writing portion)? Would you really want to spend $45 retaking the exam? Most importantly, would you really want to sit in a classroom taking an almost 4 hour exam, all so you can update a score that you're dissatisfied with/other schools may look at if you're considering transferring?</p>
<p>I wouldn't (and I seriously dislike my SAT score; I also did much better on the ACT [old generation]), but more power to you if you want to. But if you answered no to any of those questions, I wouldn't bother.</p>
