last-minute confusion

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>for the yale supplement, they have room for reporting additional testing. </p>

<p>I've taken the ACT twice. On the main common app form which allows for best scores, I reported my Reading & Writing score from test date #1, and my composite, english, science, and math from test date #2.</p>

<p>I am sending the official score report for test #2, but not for test #1</p>

<p>What I don't get is what I should report on the Yale supplement. Should I fill in my scores for test date #1, even if I partially reported it on the commonapp?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Yale’s standardized testing policy requires you to report all scores from either the ACT (with writing) or the SAT (and SAT Subject Tests).</p>

<p>You only have to send one ACT report officially, but you must report both tests. See Yale’s FAQ on standardized testing if you have any questions.</p>

<p>thanks for replying! </p>

<p>I know I have to report everything, but I’m confused to how that works when I partially reported scores from two different test dates on the main app.</p>

<p>I think I will just go with the mix+match scores of test date #1 & #2 on the main app + sending in official scores from test #2+ reporting test #1 on the supplement.</p>

<p>Since you only have two different ACTs, I would:</p>

<p>1) Report each date in it’s entirety, one per ACT slot, on the supplement</p>

<p>2) Follow the CommonApp’s instructions for the Academics section</p>

<p>3) Send an official report for your best test date through ACT.org</p>

<p>okay, thanks! </p>

<p>by any chance, does anyone know if the app is due tonight 11:59 pacific or eastern time?</p>

<p>I would guess Eastern since that’s where Yale is.</p>

<p>I heard that it’s by the time zone of the college. So that means that the application is due in about 40 minutes for everyone.</p>

<p>I have a similar question, except with the SAT. I reported all scores through CollegeBoard, but I did not fill out the Yale Supplement Additional Testing section with my bad scores. Is this okay?</p>

<p>As long as they receive all your test scores from College Board or one of your ACTs from ACT with your others self-reported, I don’t think they will care too much if you don’t report some of your SAT scores unofficially.</p>

<p>I would hurry up and submit the app, though, as you may only have a few minutes if what I heard is correct. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks, I already submitted, I was just worried that I left the Additional Testing blank.</p>

<p>Good to hear, because all Yale applicants have less than a minute to finish! Watching the ball drop now. haha</p>
