Lazy Counselors + Transcripts + Score Choice

Applying to College
1

<p>I recently told my counselor that I will be using score choice at some of the colleges I'm applying to. My transcript unofficially lists all the scores I've gotten on either the SAT or ACT. I asked her to take if off, so that they wouldn't be viewed at all by admissions officers. She agreed to do so.
Yesterday, I noticed that she already submitted all the forms (much earlier than she had done for other students). So today, I went to thank her and make sure she had taken off my scores. She informed me that she didn't get around to taking off the scores and already submitted everything. I freaked out, and she said she was sorry and that there wasn't anything she can do.
I was not going to send my SAT to my super-reach schools. The SAT score I got is below the average. However, my ACT is much better, so I was going to send that. But now, my transcript lists ALL the scores I've ever gotten (starting off with a 1900 SAT I got around a year ago (Ack!!)). Though these scores aren't official, they are still viewed on the transcript.</p>

<p>Is there ANYTHING I can do? Is there some way for her to delete the submission she made and resend it with my updated transcript? She seemed to not care too much and I doubt she really knows HOW,if there is a way. I guess she didn't care too much as my SAT score is VERY good for my school, though below the 25%-75% mark for my reach schools. </p>

<p>Any help and responses much appreciated! I'm very stressed over this!</p>

<p>If my counselor is unable to do anything, would it be wiser to fax over the updated transcript without the scores to the college? Would they know to look at the faxed in transcript over the one attached to the School Report Form?</p>

<p>Most colleges don’t like score choice, and showing them all your scores is a way of proving how much you’ve improved.
And if you fax in an updated transcript…think about how funny this question sounds. It’ll look like you’re trying really hard to cover your scores up, when they’ve already received the official scores on the School Report Form.
Don’t fax in anything.</p>

<p>Thank you for the reply</p>

<p>It wasn’t so much that I was trying to cover up various scores, but that my first ACT test with no preparation is higher than the “equivalent” of the highest of my 3 SAT attempts, so I’d rather have a college see the ACT that I took than the three SATs.
But since all the SATs are listed on my transcript, they’ll end up seeing it anyway. And there’s no way to remove it, right?</p>

<p>Sigh… :(</p>

<p>you really shouldn’t worry because most schools only consider the highest score, regardless of which test it is</p>

<p>Alright… Thanks :)</p>

<p>So I guess I might as well report all my SATs now that they’ll see them anyway, eh?</p>
