Score Choice Clarification

<p>A few colleges (e.g. Yale) ask that applicants send "all of their sat scores OR all of their ACT scores." If I've taken both the SAT and ACT but plan on using SAT scores to fulfill the requirement, can I leave my ACT score out, or do I have to send my ACT score also?</p>

<p>you can just send in your SAT scores, including Subject Tests scores and SATs taking in the past</p>

<p>Y requires you send all SAT OR all ACT.</p>

<p>Rice’s website reads:</p>

<p>“Rice uses the highest scores from any sitting on the SAT in order to consider each applicant’s most positive test results. Recognizing that this policy could disadvantage those students who cannot afford repeated testing or expensive test prep coaching, we believe a comprehensive testing history provides us with the appropriate context required for making a fair judgment of what the test scores mean in a holistic admission process. Therefore, we require all applicants submitting the SAT to submit all scores to Rice. The ACT does not condone splitting and combining subscores from multiple sittings, therefore, it is Rice’s policy to use the highest ACT composite score in admission consideration.” </p>

<p>Does this mean I have to send my ACT score or is it like Yale since I am just using my SAT to fulfill the testing requirement?</p>

<p>bump… Any thoughts?</p>

<p>When worded like this, it means either/or, it is only when a college asks for ALL college testing TAKEN that you must send all scores not matter which ones you are using to fulfill testing requirements.</p>

<p>An example of this is S:</p>

</p>

<p>But note that S has an exception for Subject tests:</p>

<p>Ah, I understand now. Thanks for your help!</p>
