SAT II Subject Tests - Send all??

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've realized that some colleges don't allow Score Choice for SAT, so I have to send them all the tests I've taken. However, when I select the scores on Collegeboard, I can deselect Subject Tests that I don't want to be sent.</p>

<p>For example, I have 2 that I want to send: 800 and 750.
and 3 that I don't want to send (2 of which I am retaking this Saturday and sending). </p>

<p>If I only report the 800 and 750, and the 2 I am taking this Saturday on my Common App, then send only those 4 scores, would these non-Score Choice colleges know that I omitted some? Would they care? If I did send all scores, would it count against me that I took <em>7</em> tests, 3 of which I did pretty badly?? (720 700 and 700) but retook...</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>BTW, some of my top choice schools are Stanford and Yale, which require all scores to be sent.</p>

<p>If your lowest subject test scores were 700+ then relax and send them all.[ 7 tests? yikes!]</p>

<p>^Yea, 2 are retakes. but that’s the thing, wouldn’t they think I was crazy or somethin?</p>

<p>I don’t think adcoms waste time “analyzing” subject test scores. they are not nearly as important as GPA, the rigor of the classes you took and your SAT/ACT scores. they just use them to “verify” the grades received in those subjects, and the they move on.</p>

<p>I agree with the previous posts. My D got into Stanford with a couple of subject tests under 700. Relax. Put your effort into your essays.</p>

<p>Alright thanks, I’ll list all 7 SAT II’s then. hopefully there’s enough space on the common app…</p>
