NCAA Eligibility Center/Clearinghouse

<p>Can someone please shed more light on this than I have been able to find online.</p>

<p>All SAT and SATII scores must be sent by the Eligibility Center. So does this mean you can never request to not send a score, or do you get to direct which scores are sent. This also leads to a second question: are scores really "sent," or are the schools provided with access to view everything and anything you have ever taken (sat for) online?</p>

<p>Read the directions and info on the site.
The Clearinghouse is about providing eligibility for the sport…not admissions.
They need you transcript, your scores etc.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply, but that much was obvious from the site, lol… is pretty common knowledge (that it’s about eligibility, not admission), and wasn’t the question. ;-)</p>

<p>My question was about the ability of colleges to see all test scores, or more specifically, the potential INABILITY of a prospective student-athlete to have the same benefit (of score choice) that an ORDINARY applicant otherwise has, possibly putting them at a disadvantage.</p>

<p>I know from another thread that there are parents of DI athletes in this forum, so perhaps they may be able to answer if their D or S was able to direct specific scores, or if the admissions committees who are receiving scores from the NCAA CH had “carte blanche” to see all.</p>

<p>My question actually has a purpose. My D is taking 3 SATIIs tomorrow. She has been incredibly jammed up with tournaments, AP exams, finals and a state music competition so she has only studied 2 nights. Will she do well? Maybe, good chance – she almost always does great under these hectic circumstances because these “circumstances” are pretty much her “normal” everyday life. But these will be going to Ivys. I don’t want “As” in AP classes to be discounted as being “cushy” if she does not fair so well on a corresponding SAT 2 in the subject so in such a case, i’d recommend she not send it if that is an option. </p>

<p>So, there was a point. If she doesn’t do well on one of the 3, I’d like to know if she can prevent it from being viewed by admissions because it will have already been sent to the clearinghouse. Good, bad or ugly, they’ll already have it.</p>

<p>The clearinghouse is not sending anything to admissions.</p>

<p>Admissions gets the common app and supplements and the test scores your student sends AND be careful because normally they want to see ALL tests taken as was the case for our student’s ivy apps.</p>

<p>The clearinghouse is for the athletic department and comes into play after the Sr yr transcript arrives. It determines that your student is eligible to play at the collegiate level.</p>

<p>I am a parent of an ivy scholar-athlete.</p>

<p>Rebound,</p>

<p>Ivy League school only accept SAT scores that are sent directly from the college board. Some of the Ivy league schools do not participate in score choice which means if you use SAT scores you must send in all scores. The NCAA clearing house checks to see if certain GPA, course load, and test score standards are met to determine eligibility to compete. The NCAA standards are much lower than all of the Ivies.</p>

<p>At this point it would probably be a good idea to read over all of the admission requirements and procedures for at least the top 3 schools your athlete is interested in.</p>
