Question about superscoring the SATI

<p>In general, private institutions superscore right, right? Could anyone out there tell me of any private universities that DON'T superscore? Do HYPSM, Duke, Upenn, NYU, UChicago, or Georgetown superscore?</p>

<p>I'm also considering some public schools: Rutgers University, The College of William and Mary, and University of Michigian. (OOS for CWM and UMich)</p>

<p>Do they superscore or just take the highest total score from one sitting?</p>

<p>Thanks.
Have a nice life.</p>

<p>Most schools have this information on their website so it's best to check that to see whether they superscore or not.</p>

<p>Meh. Does anyone know for sure?</p>

<p>As the first reply said, look it up on the Web site if you are interested in a particular college. The general practice of most colleges is to give you the benefit of your best scores, either section by section (which some people call "superscoring") or by best single sitting. See </p>

<p>for some background information. Whatever a college does by policy, it does for all applicants to that college. You may also want to take a look at the featured thread on the Parents Forum "How</a> do top scorers on tests fail to gain admission to top schools?" for a reminder of what other issues are important for college admission besides test scores.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot, tokenadult.
Good to hear that the amount of times a student takes a test doesn't matter nearly as much as the scores...=)</p>
