Possibility of being rescinded--SAT Score, urgent

<p>I was admitted to Berkeley for the fall but for one reason or another, the SAT score I submitted to Berkeley may be canceled. The score report has been received by the Office of Admissions though if the score is canceled, a letter will be sent from Collegeboard saying that score is no longer valid. Obviously, this will probably result in a rescinded offer of admission. However, I have an ACT score which is virtually equivalent--it equates exactly to the SAT score using the UC conversation chart. Do you think that if I submit this that they'll disregard the canceled SAT? </p>

<p>The problem is that my admission to Berkeley was based on the SAT score--I never submitted my ACT score. I'm guessing they most likely don't have the time or the desire to re-evaluate my application based on the ACT score. Any input would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Why is the score being cancelled?</p>

<p>Why is the score being cancelled?</p>

<p>I didn't (forgot to) sign the agreement on the answer document.</p>

<p>Call them? I'm pretty sure they won't rescind you over your SAT score just for not signing something. :D</p>

<p>Wouldn't the College Board have nullified your score soon after they scored it?</p>

<p>Why would they bring up this cancellation now?</p>

<p>Collegeboard: We'll "un-nullify" the cancellation of your SAT scores for a simple payment of $1.00/day over the course of your lifetime.</p>

<p>They somehow took notice now. Anyway, does anyone know if Berkeley will just take the equivalent ACT?</p>

<p>Call them and ask about this. I'm sure they would take the ACT equivalent because they're supposed to use both equally. I was admitted into both UCLA and UCB because with my ACT score (SAT was horribly low)</p>

<p>scrabbler, just call the undergraduate admissions office and explain your situation. </p>

<p>IMO, I doubt it would mean you'd be rescinded.
After all, the College Board notified you about this well after you submitted your UC application, so it shouldn't count against you.</p>

<p>^^ I agree. Just submit your ACT in addition to the above.</p>

<p>hi. i am having the same problem as you. i am currently accepted to serveral colleges this fall, 2012. My ACT score may be cancelled because my score went up dramatically from one test date to another in a short period of time. If the score is cancelled, what the colleges that i admitted would do? btw, i dont have equivalent scores to that. In your case, what happened afterwards? would they rescind me? would it be ok if i call them and explain the situation to them? i hope u can reply asap thanks so much!!</p>

<p>scrabbler, they are only looking to rescind if they find deceit or some other major character issue, or if you are clearly and obviously ignoring schoolwork for your senior year. </p>

<p>Especially because you have independent testing scores that are essentially identical, it eliminates any chance they might think that you had been involved in misconduct that produced a falsely high SAT score, which ETS discovered and nullified your grade. If ETS reports this as a case of a missing signature on the form, even clearer to anyone receiving it. If every other test you took was enormously lower, and the one high score was cancelled, that might be a somewhat more troubling case, but that is moot. </p>

<p>If it is cancelled, contact admissions just to inform them that you ETS abruptly nullified your test score, something you had no way of foreseeing, and send along the ACT score to show that the SAT score was no anomaly. If you have decent scores on other SAT testing dates, that further bolsters your case. </p>

<p>Unless ETS reports this as a cancellation after discovering it was fraudulent, I don’t believe you have anything to worry about.</p>
