<p>Okay so the first time I took the SAT I got a 2180. When I retook I got a 2350.</p>
<p>Some schools I'm applying to allow score choice so I'm not going to send the 2180. </p>
<p>But I found out today that my school reports ALL SAT scores on the transcript. I tried to get them to remove the 2180 but they refused and said they were not allowed to :(</p>
<p>I might be making this a bigger deal than it actually is, but I'm stressed out now because even though adcoms claim they only consider highest scores (and I improved on all 3 sections the second time), I do NOT want an adcom to be psychologically swayed by the lower scores reported on my transcript. My school simply refuses to take the lower score off my transcript.</p>
<p>What should I do?</p>
<p>Also, does this mean I should officially send BOTH sets of scores to all schools I'm applying to? Even ones that allow score choice?</p>
<p>I really shouldn’t have checked the “send scores to your high school” box. I never knew that my high school would put it on the transcript if I didn’t do well. And the worst part is that I can’t “fight” to have the first score removed because I don’t want to annoy my counselor who has to write me a rec.</p>
<p>Wow, those are great scores. Nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve studied a lot to get close to that and I haven’t. I’m still sending all of my scores because I’ve improved a bit. I’m going to take it for a third time and I would love to get a 2000! It’s no biggie if I don’t though. Does having 200 points more make you a better student? I think not… Good luck!</p>
<p>Fact is that majority of high schools do the same. Many students incorrectly believe that their high school does not do so because the transcript that is given to them at the end of each semester may not show test scores but what they get at the end of each semester is not the complete transcript that would be sent to colleges. Colleges all profess that they use your highest scores for admission so unless you believe the colleges to which you are applying are all scumbag liars (query: if so, why would you apply to such a college?) then you should not be concerned. And yes, unless your high school agrees to remove the score, you should just send all your official scores when you order them sent by College Board.</p>
