<p>So I want to apply to Cornell engineering and CMU CIT in the fall, but both schools don't do score choice. My sat ii scores are:
Math II 800
Chem 800
French 690
So both schools only require the math and chem, and I've heard from some sources and different responses from admissions counselors that I only have to send scores that I want or are required for sat ii. I'm not sure about this and if anyone has experience applying to these schools, if you could explain this to me, that would be really helpful.
Looking at the scores, I obviously don't need nor want to send the French, so even if score choice is not permitted, will that 690 hurt me or will they not care since I'm applying to engineering?</p>
<p>Please adhere to the testing policies of the schools you apply to. If it is determined later you didn’t send all the info required you can be rescinded, or if already in school, thrown out of school. A 690 in French shouldn’t hurt you in Engineering.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks for your recommendation. I was just confused since two different counselors for Cornell told me different things. I’ll make sure to check with them again.</p>
<p>I would check directly with the school’s admissions depts.</p>
<p>We had this same predicament with our daughter. We were told that if the school requires “two SAT subject tests” but you took three, send your best two. If they require “two tests but all testing” – we were told that it means just the two tests but if you took the test multiple times, send all scores for those two tests. Georgetown was the one school that I am familiar with that requires three subject tests. So depending on what schools you are applying to, I would not submit French, just the other two. I just looked and Cornell Engineering appears to require two, one math and one science. Don’t send the French.</p>
<p>Maybe I am missing something because it appears clear that Cornell’s stated position is that you need ot send “all” subject test scores. For example:</p>
<p><a href=“http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/admission-requirements”>http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/admission-requirements</a> : “It’s your responsibility to make sure that you have taken the right Subject Tests and have the scores officially reported to Cornell from the testing agency by our application deadline. Note that Cornell requires students to submit all scores from SAT tests taken and does not participate in the College Board’s Score Choice.”</p>
<p><a href=“http://blogs.cornell.edu/admissions/2011/10/19/the-faqs-of-sats-and-acts/”>http://blogs.cornell.edu/admissions/2011/10/19/the-faqs-of-sats-and-acts/</a> where it says: “No, Cornell does not participate in Score Choice. When you send your SAT scores we ask that you send us all of your scores, including all Subject Test scores.”</p>
<p>You should understand that the rule as to how many tests are required for admission is different from the requirement for sending all scores. You are required to submit two subject tests to be considered for admission but if you, in fact, took more than two, you must send them all.</p>
<p>The only way you can wihhold a test score when ordering through College Board is through exercise of score choice which Cornell is clearly against. If there is actuaolly someone at Cornel telling you can send only some of your tests, I would get that in writing before relying upon it.</p>
<p>Also, before you consider withholding a test, you better find out what your high school does. Many put all your scores on your official high school transcript sent to colleges. Thus, the result could be that the college gets your transcript with all scores and thus learns that you intentionally attempted to withhold a score when it does not show up in the record sent by College Board.</p>
<p>@drusba One counselor told me that I only need to send required tests while another said I have to send all of them, so I’ll call them later to make sure.</p>
