Question on Superscoring and SATs in general

Applying to College
1

<p>The schools I'm applying to are NYU, BU, Syracuse, PennState, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Stonybrook, Tulane and the University of Miami.</p>

<p>I'm hoping to be either a journalism or business major (haven't fully decided)</p>

<p>I've taken the SAT twice and I want to know if the scores I earned should be alright for admission to these colleges. Also if anyone knows one of these colleges that doesn't Superscore please let me know. So far i know PennState doesn't but i'm ok with that.</p>

<p>SAT 1 - May
CR-570
MATH-670
W-660 Essay 8</p>

<p>1240/1900</p>

<p>SAT 1- OCT
CR-680
MATH-610
W-580 Essay 8</p>

<p>1290/1870</p>

<p>Superscore: 1350/2010</p>

<p>SAT II
US- 640
BIO E -680</p>

<p>I'm signed up for Nov. as well but I haven't studied and I'm thinking of just dropping out because I don't want colleges to see another drop in my scores. Advice is greatly appreciated thanks a lot guys.</p>

<p>also, sorry one more question. On the October 2007 SAT (MY 2nd one) I sent the score report to all 8 schools so they now have the list above of my Results. Now, if i choose to take the NOV SAT and I do poorly and I DONT send an updated score report, will they see that i took the Nov SAT?</p>

<p>You can look up the middle 50% SAT scores for all your schools here.

Check with your target schools to get accurate information on whether or not they superscore. </p>

<p>If you don't list any schools when you register for the SAT they won't send them anywhere. If you score well and want them sent you can request score reports after the test. In that case you'd have to pay for them--you don't get the same 4 reports for free deal as if you'd requested them at registration.</p>

<p>Thanks so much appreciate it</p>

<p>I'm sorry, I've seen this referred to before and I don't know what it means. What is a "super score"?</p>

7

<p>Many schools create a composite score when a student submits results from more than one sitting of the SAT. Taking the highest score from critical reading, math and writing is superscoring.</p>

<p>Oh, I thought virtually all schools did that, so I never thought of it as a different kind of score. I know that UC's only look at scores taken at one sitting, but are there a lot of other schools that do that?</p>

<p>No, I don't think there are lots of schools that don't. I think you're right that aside from the UC almost all schools superscore. The OP says Penn State doesn't so I guess there are exceptions.</p>
