<p>I am not sending it my 7th grade score. No way. Will they know?</p>
<p>I’m stuck in the same situation. Honestly, I’d say just to send it all. From what I’ve heard, subject tests are not that heavily looked upon, and even if you did awful, try to retake and raise those scores to show improvement, especially when they look at the dates they might notice that. There’s no point trying to hide it, because if they do find out, you don’t want that to hurt you whereas it might not have before. I know it sucks that under the assumption of the Score Choice Policy we might have made a few mistakes, but if you want UPenn, I’d say sending them all would be necessary. :</p>
<p>If I’m applying to Hopkins do I have to send all my scores as well?</p>
<p>What do you not understand about NO score choice? It is not your business to decide what Penn should consider … they will put things into context by themselves. By hiding scores you are blatantly lying on probably the most important agreement of your lives so far-- the college application!
Furthermore, Collegeboard now DISPLAYS the college’s score choice policy when you send it … for example, I was forced to send all scores to Cornell (the check boxes of each test were static).
Just RETAKE the tests in question, and they will most likely understand and overlook previous poor scores.</p>
<p>^I agree. Technically, though, if you sent ONLY an ACT and no SAT stuff whatsoever, score choice would not be seen by them.</p>
<p>@StarsAlingned, no need to be so intense. I’m sure everyone here understands the policy, they just don’t want to abide by it. Why would you want to make your app less appealing?</p>
<p>Spell my name right.
I am just frustrated that they think they can outsmart admissions officers. This brings up the question of mendacity in the admission process: sure we can all fake obscure awards, bloat achievements, claim we tutored an impoverished child, and lie in interviews. But is it worth it?! No small “advantage” would be worth the devastating risk of being kicked out of college after a year, with credits rescinded and a permanent blemish of dishonesty on your record.</p>
<p>Just send all of your scores because then there will be no risk of you getting caught breaking the rules. Even if some of your scores may not look so great, one or two scores will not be the deciding factor in your application</p>
<p>My apologies. I was going to send them all, anyway. Just was wondering people’s thoughts is all.</p>
<p>I went to UPenn last week for an infosession and was lucky enough to talk to a regional admissions officer. She said that UPenn requires applicants to send all testing scores. HOWEVER, there are two steps to the admission. In the first step, your regional admissions officer will enter all of your highest scores into their database. The second step, with all the other admissions officer and dean of admissions, has everyone looking at only the applicant’s best scores, so they will never know of that crappy 480 you scored in 9th grade, when you forgot of signed up for the SATs the next day. Despite asking you to send all the scores, they only look at your best scores. How else could they brag about high SAT averages?? The admissions officer also said that they completely understand below par scores as it is only human to mess up.</p>
<p>Brown is a lot easier to get into ED than it is getting in RD so applying ED there is a wise choice.</p>
<p>@ StarsAligned- sorry for spelling your beloved name wrong 
and @fishyfishy, that was very helpful</p>
<p>
I’ll forgive you … this time. >.<</p>
<p>My son took the SAT in 7th grade, too, but College Board does not send those scores. I remember reading something about that in their material when he was going to take it. I don’t think those scores were even in his record.</p>
<p>^Thank God, because I bombed. Seriously bombed. I’m talking 400 on each category, even math! And I thought I was a math wiz back then. I guess you need high school math for these things.</p>
