Score Choice for Subject tests

<p>Do these schools allow Score Choice for the SAT subject tests:</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon University</p>

<p>Cornell University.</p>

<p>Northwestern University.</p>

<p>I got 2 okay subject test scores (Cornell's Requirement): A 770 in Math II (Possible retake, I know I can do better) and an 800 in Chem, but I got a 680 in USH (it was only $9 more).</p>

<p>I think these schools do, I know that those only require 2 scores so you probably wouldn’t have to send USH (I got a 680 too -.-). I think I’m going to retake USH because some of the ivys (Harvard, Yale) Want to see all the reports. I’m in the same boat (800mathII, 800Bio), but I think that the only school I know of that requires three subject tests is Georgetown.</p>

<p>I don’t know about the other 2, but Cornell does NOT allow score choice.</p>

<p>They don’t allow score choice for the SAT 1, but I heard from some people it varied by the college whether or not you had to send all SAT subject test scores (the person I talked to said she didn’t have to). I heard from others, that you HAD to send all subject test scores.</p>

<p>For Cornell that is.</p>

<p>@Sheriie, I’m still not sure yet. Oh, and do you think dual 800s will look A LOT (Like exponentially better) or just a little better than 800, 770?</p>

<p>I’ve heard a lot of estimates, but the closer two scores are the less impact it has.</p>

<p>Okay, so basically you think it wouldn’t help that much?</p>

<p>You are kinda in an iffy situation for Math IIC. Although it is advisable that you have 780 due to the lenient curve, you are “obliged” to have 780+ if you are looking for Ivies… A 770 would suffice for Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>But a 10-point difference wouldn’t mark a significant increase in the odds of college acceptance, correct?</p>

<p>Yeah, I suppose, but I think dual 800s would look better, and plus, I know I could have done better too, but I got unlucky with the test material, so yeah.</p>

<p>To get a definitive answer about score choice policies, you really need to go to the source: the colleges’ websites or printed material. It would be a shame to take action based on another student’s thoughts or experiences and then discover that he was mistaken or the school’s policy has changed.</p>
