<p>I just read this on the Yale website:</p>
<p>"Please note that beginning with the March 2009 testing, Yale will require applicants to submit all score results from both the SAT I and II and the ACT."</p>
<p>Does this mean all SAT or all ACT (so no new score choice policy) or all SAT AND ACT (no choice between which you submit)?</p>
<p>Every test that you ever take, ACT SAT or SAT II, will HAVE to be submitted to Yale, no exceptions. No score choice.</p>
<p>-sigh- Now I have to do well on both! I was planning on studying only for the SAT and just trying the ACT out. Darn.</p>
<p>Woah, well I’m glad I was still under the old policy, because I took the ACT 5 times (and Yale only got my last score since it was my highest)</p>
<p>What if I score a low on on the May exam and a higher one (let say 2100 or above), will they take my higher score into consideration or how will the lower one affect ?? will it be a big problem if it is really low ?</p>
<p>Hehe, go Yale (and all the other schools that choose not to stick to Score Choice). CollegeBoard needs to stop messing with our heads (and wallets).</p>
<p>does the new policy mean that Yale hopes to lower the number of the applicants?
since it will be harder for intls to apply to Yale.</p>
<p>I think that either way they will continue to look at the highest combined score total.</p>
<p>By the way, nice to hear from you again, mist! :D</p>
<p>Oh… my… god. THANK YOU it wasn’t this year.</p>
<p>I took the SAT and did great. But I decided to see what all this talk about “omg ACT is Waaaay easier” was. So I took the ACT for kicks and spent a lot of time reading the direction… and when the science came up I was like “lolwut there’s science?”.</p>
<p>Ended up with a 27… good thing Yale didn’t see that.</p>
<p>^ LOL
Jeff Brenzel said it would be fair to low income families if score choice was done away with.
Yay to Yale</p>
<p>^ I can see his point.</p>
<p>But I didn’t feel like taking anything again. I took ACT and SAT each once and was done with it.</p>
<p>Just to be cleared, will I have to send in both SAT and ACT or either or ??</p>
<p>From what I understand, you’ll have to send at least one. However, you have to send all of what you send. If you want to send one SAT, you’ll have to send every SAT that you’ve taken. Similarly, if you want to send one ACT, you’ll still have to send all of your ACTs. Whatever you send, you will be required to send every score from that particular test.</p>
<p>However, I can see how you could read the statement on the website and determine that they will want all scores from both companies (ACT and SAT). Decide for yourself:</p>
<p>[Standardized</a> Testing 2009-2010 | Application to Yale College | Freshmen | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“Home | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions”>Home | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions) </p>
<p>After all, they are two separate testing services. Will Yale be able to check, for example, with the ACT company to see if scores are available for an applicant who has not submitted ACT scores?</p>
<p>What if you took the SAT in January 2009 and are taking the ACT in April 2009…? Must you submit your SAT score at all?</p>
<p>I didn’t do very well on the SAT and I’ve been studying really intensely for the ACTs and that tests seems much more suited to the way my mind works so I was planning on only submitting my ACT scores.</p>
<p>LOL, if you are applying for class of 2014, you SUBMIT ALLL</p>
<p>So let says that you score like 1700 on SAT this May and study and get something like 2100 in October. It means that you will have to send both the 1700 and the 2100 right ?? Will the 1700 be a bummer and kinda annihilate your chance ?</p>
<p>Yah
it means you can study for a test and pass
if your GPA is good, it is not a worry at all</p>
<p>Wait, I just don’t understand this. Why are they making you submit two unrelated scores? No other school makes you submit both SAT and ACT. I understand needing to submit every score within each test, but every score for both tests? That just doesn’t seem right…maybe I’ll e-mail them and ask once they’re done dealing with this year’s applications, because when I read their official statement on the website that’s not what I took from it.</p>
<p>Yale is saying if you send your ACT scores, you must send all of them to Yale.</p>
<p>Yale requires applicants to submit the following testing:</p>
<pre><code>* The College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) SAT I and any two SAT II Subject Tests
or
<p>*Please note that beginning in March 2009, Yale will require that applicants submit all score results from the ACT, SAT I and SAT II testing.</p>
<p>I don’t think it means you need to actually sit both. If it meant that it would say that. It just means that if you sit the SAT, the ACT or both multiple times, you’ll have to send all the scores, not just choose to send the best.</p>
<p>Hmm… maybe they just want to see how people are improving. Or it could help them in selecting the people who aren’t studyrobots and take the SAT a bunch of times to try and get that super low 2360 to a 2400.</p>
