Score Choice/Reporting

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I need to send my standardized test scores to Cornell but I have a question regarding Score Choice...</p>

<p>I know that Cornell's website states that they do not participate in College Board's Score Choice if you are planning on sending the Reasoning Test and the Subject Tests. However, I would like to send my ACT score along with the Subject Tests for CALS. Can I then choose to send only my Subject Test scores from College Board (not my Reasoning Tests scores)?</p>

<p>Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>that’s exactly what I did. It should be ok.</p>

<p>no. when you sent the SAT IIs, your SAT I score is attached with it. unfortunately, collegeboard puts both tests on the same report. if your ACT score is higher though, they will use that score over SAT I. </p>

<p>send both</p>

<p>Do I have to send all of my SATIIs or can I hide one?</p>

5

<p>As long as you meet the requirements for the SAT IIs for your specific college, you can only send those in.</p>

6

<p>unfortunately, you cant hide anything (SAT wise)</p>

<p>same thing with AP scores</p>

<p>to sum it all up: collegeboard sucks :(</p>

<p>CUAmbassador11 - You sure you can’t with score choice?</p>

<p>i dont think so…</p>

<p>I called Admission Office, and got an answer that I have to send all SAT I and SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>Oh, why must the college application process be so complicated?</p>

<p>I thought that the point of Score Choice was to be able to send only your best scores or specific scores. I understand that some colleges want to see how many times you’ve taken the tests etc., but I think this situation is a bit different because of the ACT factor.</p>

<p>Kangaroo – Are you submitting the Reasoning Test and the Subject Tests instead of the ACT and the Subject Tests? Because in that case, I would understand their desire for all scores to be sent. However, if chooses the ACT option, as I have, I don’t see the problem with using Score Choice to only submit the Subject Tests from College Board. </p>

<p>Hmmm…</p>

<p>When I called the admissions office back in October, they said they aren’t so picky about SAT IIs - as long as you meet the subject test requirements, you should be fine. I then e-mailed my college, and they told me I’m allowed to choose which SAT IIs provided that I meet the requirement. (i.e. a math & science for COE)</p>

<p>Subject tests are kinda different from SAT Is - meet your requirements and I think you’re fine.</p>

<p>My friend took 3 tests (math, physics, lit) and applied for Engineering. He phoned COE and the rep told him that as long as he meets the math&physics requirement, he should be fine. He took math 2X, physics 2X, and lit 2X. He sent in all of his math & physics (so that’s 4 scores), but didn’t report the lit. He got accepted.</p>

<p>I strongly suggest you phone each individual college instead of phoning general admissions. The colleges will most likely tell you that as long as you meet the requirements, there shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

<p>This discussion didn’t really answer OP’s question.</p>

<p>I too wonder: if I am submitting the ACT and the SAT II, then I can use the score choice to suppress the SAT I, since the testing requirement states that either the ACT OR the SAT is required.
Right?</p>

<p>Haha, that was exactly my question! I think I’m going to go ahead and do it. Most people seem to think that it’s okay and I don’t see a problem with it.</p>
