<p>lol at the end of your post!</p>
<p>that's what I PERSONALLY thought, but some people on this thread made it seem like you had to send EVERYTHING. That's a relief..</p>
<p>Denebola on the website it CLEARLY states that you can opt to send ONLY the ACT with writing (don't even have to send SAT 2 scores). I understand your position with my 2070 and 34. So TRUST me I looked into this extensively.</p>
<p>Here is the link:
Standardized</a> Testing | Application to Yale College | Freshmen | Office of Undergraduate Admissions</p>
<p>That's pretty much where I am. 1970 SAT 34 ACT...like what? </p>
<p>There is clearly zero correlation.</p>
<p>good for us applicants to the class of 2013.</p>
<p>how...? </p>
<p>it's not any different for us than it is for you. neither of us have score choice for Yale.</p>
<p>Interesting (and, so far as I know, unprecedented) change in policy. I can think of two reasons why they might do this:</p>
<p>-They do not want their admissions process influenced by cherry-picking insofar as possible (although multiple ACT sittings can still be score-selected). They want as much information as possible about each candidate, if it is available.</p>
<p>-They have found that they get many scores inadvertently sent anyway, via appearance on HS transcripts. In other words, even if you choose not to forward your SAT scores, your HS might be including you scores on your transcripts. By asking all candidates to send all scores to be sent they mean to eliminate the possible inequities that occur by this "backdoor."</p>
<p>What is of particular interest to me is how they mean to enforce this policy. The testing agencies cannot confirm that you have tested without your consent. How will Yale know that an applicant is withholding score information?</p>
<p>One more thought-are they saying that all ACT sittings must be reported, effectively overriding the ACT score-choice policy? If so, since Yale is negating the new score-choice option on the SAT, this might be an attempt to put these tests on equal footing in regards to score-choice.</p>
<p>If you take the ACT, all scores must be reported. This a change from the present. This put the ACT and SAT on equal footing. However, these are obviously two different tests. Yale is very inconsistent in this way. ?superscore the SAT but not the ACT.
To me superscoring never made sense since the CB bases it's validity of the test on the premise that it's done in one sitting.
There's little sense in college admissions anyway.</p>
