SAT Superscore

<p>Does anyone know many colleges use superscore?</p>

<p>I took the SAT twice (2290 and 2320) but my superscore is 2370. So would this change anything?</p>

<p>Don’t be lazy. Look up this official document:</p>

<p>I second @billscho. Look at your list and look up if the schools you want to attend super score. As a GENERAL rule (don’t hold me to this, there are plenty of exceptions) the super selective and middle tier privates super score, as do the easier state schools (for example, in california Stanford and the CSU’s superscore, but the UCs don’t). Either way, your single sitting is still great, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Even if a school doesn’t technically superscore, sending both SATs in can show an admissions officer that you’re capable of hitting higher. The 50 points won’t make a difference at most super selectives, that’s high enough to be considered certainly, but what they care about is that you preformed well (which you did). Then they look at GPA, extracurriculars, the essay, rec’s, ect. If your SAT is the only thing going for you with mediocre “everything else”, brace yourself for rejection letters from places like HYPSM. On the opposite end, some schools are nearly entirely stat based in admission, using my earlier admission the UCs use a calculator with SAT score and GPA that almost entirely determines admission. Long story short, it depends.</p>
