Score Choice or Not? only send 1 ACT 30 score or should also send my 4 lower SAT scores(1900-1750)?

<p>Will it look bad if only send one ACT 30 score and 4 lower AP scores ( 3,2,2,2) or should I also send my 4 lower SAT scores(1900-1750) so I show more testing? ( my GPA is 4.27 weighted and 3.85 unweighted)?</p>

<p>I was planning on sending my highest SAT score 1900 only with my ACT 30 score because I was worried that only sending 1 standardized test score ( ACT 30) wasn't competitive enough- but then I realized that I couldn't send just one of my 4 SAT scores to UC colleges as they don't allow SCORE CHOICE - so I have to either send all of my SAT scores (1900, 1870, 1830, 1750) or none of them ( I am also not sending my 3 SAT II scores because they are very low (480, 520,550). I was also told by UC admission rep that even though my AP scores are low it is better to send them then not send at all cause colleges don't like when they see you took AP classes and then didn't show any AP test scores ( they assume you were either too lazy to take test or you failed score 1) . </p>

<p>So, is sending only send one ACT 30 score and 4 lower AP scores ( 3,2,2,2) more competitive/better than also sending my 4 lower SAT scores(1900-1750) too??</p>

<p>P.S. I am also ADHD ( diagnosed in 2011) which has always contributed to my erratic testing - especially on longer 4 hour tests but I wasn't going to report/disclose this on my college applications even though it might shed light on my fluctuating low test scores- because I have been advised that ADHD could be a negative at colleges- even though they say don't discriminate on disabilities- if it comes down to one spot left and exactly similar applicants except one has ADHD and other doesn't- the consensus is they will go with the applicant without the issues of ADHD ?</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP - thank you very much</p>

<p>HI vg,
Your 30 ACT is higher than any of your SAT’s. Schools only expect one test, so just send your ACT.
Regarding your AP tests, my opinion is why would you send scores of 2, when it is not passing? Supposedly colleges don’t look at AP scores for admissions purposes. So what if they assume you didn’t pass? You didn’t, so keep them guessing.
I would discuss the ADHD diagnosis on your app, especially if you are under the care of a psychologist for it. You might be able to get special consideration. Look at all your campuses and see where you can get allowances for learning disability. ADHD can make school difficult, so the fact that you have such good grades is impressive.
Look beyond the UC system. You should definitely have some alternatives. Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree with the previous poster just send in your ACT score. Unless a school requires your subject tests do not send. I wouldn’t worry about the ACT scores and I wouldn’t send until after you are accepted and have chosen to attend.</p>

<p>I think they meant to say don’t send in your AP scores until you have chosen to attend.</p>
