<p>Hi,
Does anyone know whether SAT score-choice shows up when sent to colleges?</p>
<p>For example:
I send 3 out of 4 SATs to a college.
Would they see that I have opted to not show them all my scores?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>The College Board when it sends scores does not send anything that indicates you exercised score choice. A different issue is your high school transcript as a lot of high schools put all your scores on the transcript so you might check what yours does.</p>
<p>Oh Thank God!
I live in London and don’t go to an American high school so my high school has no idea what my SAT scores even are. So i guess that’s good.</p>
<p>1 more question…
If a school claims it does not accept score choice does that mean they will know if you held scores or are you just expected to as respect for the rules?</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>“If a school CLAIMS it does not accept score choice…”</p>
<p>I’m aghast that you’re asking for information/permission to cheat, possibly gain acceptance, and perhaps financial aid, at a school that might have given that spot to a student who is honest. By the way, you thanked God, but I’m fairly certain he didn’t have a hand in your successful cheating. However, I could be wrong. Perhaps we’ll all find out NEXT YEAR that College Board has a “coding” system on the scores sent out by using Score Choice.</p>
<p>My original question was about all schools and I’m happy score-choice does not show.
It may seem like I want to cheat but I’m asking whether they get special privileges. Just curious.</p>
<p>No need for your rant.</p>
<p>As to the question asked, absent the high school transcript it is an honor system although it is still unknown what colleges will do, if anything, to verify you sent all scores, e.g., maybe they will ask the question at interviews or send a request later for those admitted to confirm they did not exercise score choice. Also unknown is what colleges will actually do if they learn you exercised score choice – it would give them the right to withdraw any admission but unknown if they will actually exercise that right. What the anti-score choice colleges have done is create a year of total confusion since it is often impossible to even figure out what they actually require – all SAT scores but you can choose which SAT IIs? all SAT and SAT II scores? all SAT and SAT II and ACT scores? Just all ACT scores if you choose to rely on it? Just one ACT score and nothing else if you choose to rely on it? I have come across all those variations among the colleges that reject score choice. You go to the sites for the rules and it is often just gobblygook (assuming you can even find the rules on the college’s site which sometimes can take forever) that gives no certain answer and those that have answers have rules that differ from each other.</p>
