<p>So I was preety certain that colleges dont want people to used scorechoice but now that i read some of the forums i am not sure.
So if i want to get to a school like UF, do they accept scorechoice? I know the University of Miami does not.
Also im a Junior who just took the SAT, should i send my scores now, i heard colleges like that, but im not sure.</p>
<p>I think there is not a lot of information about how score choice should or would be used by both students and colleges. There is a list provided by College Board that contains what the colleges indicated how they want to receive and use scores from College Board. Even in the list, I still am not sure what is the difference between Version 1 and Version 2 of the Best Section Scores Across All Test Dates is. What happen if the school wants to get all scores but you only send certain scores? Do the AdCom always see the composite scores if you send all scores and the school indicated that they do Version 2? Probably, nothing is clear until things settle after a few years of this new system.</p>
<p>Can any one link the page? ive been looking and cant find it.</p>

<p>Some schools have announced that they will not accept score choice and will require applicants to submit all scores. Florida as far as I am aware hasn’t said one way or the other. You really need to wait and find out as any who decide to not follow score choice will tell you on or before they release their application for the 2010 entry class and those who have said nothing thus far have until then to make up their mind. Also, schools don’t care one way or the other whether you send scores in spring of junior year or fall of senior.</p>
<p>Well, we have gone through the procedure to submit the March score, and even though the school said they want all the scores, we could have checked/unchecked any scores on the list for that particular school. How would the school know we have omitted some scores? Would College Board send just the ones we checked? Can College Board actually send the scores that we purposely unchecked without our permission if the school wants all the scores? Again, what is the difference between Version1 and Version2?</p>
<p>Difference between V1 and V2 is simply a matter of degree and merely reflects what the university bothered to check in a questionarre it probably did not want to spend much time on. For those that take highest section scores you are free to send as many tests as you like under V1 and are “strongly encouraged” to do so under version 2. Realistically there is no difference of importance between V1 and V2. </p>
<p>Not sure how college would know you did not submit a score. However, those that will require all scores may well put a specific question on their applications asking you to confirm that you have submitted all scores and thus if they later learn otherwise you can have your application denied, an admittance withdrawn, or be kicked out in the middle of your freshman year for lying on your application</p>
<p>Lying is definitely not right and unnecessary but I doubt that any school would have a question this year being the first year of score choice. More important question is would not sending all the scores be ground for rejection when they specifically ask for all the scores. Is what posted on College Board a requirement or just a guideline?</p>
<p>Another interesting thought is that, if the school wants to see all the scores, they might have a better chance to do so with V2 as their policy.</p>
<p>The interesting thing about what is going on is that it raises the issue as to whether colleges have been lying to everyone for years.</p>
<p>In the past, you basically had two groups: those that professed to use only the highest subscores from multiple tests to determine admission and those that professed to use only that test which had the highest composite. </p>
<p>If students do not send scores it will be because those are lower than the ones they do send.</p>
<p>Thus, the question becomes: why does a school like Stanford which professes to use only highest subscores or schools like the UCs which profess to use only that test with highest composite, care whether you submit scores that are lower than the ones you do submit? Of course colleges are never dishonest and we are really are supposed to believe them when they say they don’t consider those lower scores against you but doesn’t their insistence on all scores make one think that they might be fibbing a little?</p>
<p>There’s a third less nefarious possibility perhaps Stanford wants to be able to report the strongest subscores possible here’s an example of what I mean:</p>
<p>Student takes the SAT twice:
- M800 V760 W500
- M500 V720 W500</p>
<p>If I were that student, of course I’d send in the first score judging the verbal score probably good enough and that it would be too dangerous to send in scores of 500. Stanford though, has an interest in being able to report to US News and World Report a higher median verbal SAT score, so they want to have a record of it.</p>
<p>Darn - I TOTALLY mucked up my numbers in #10. This is what I meant to post:</p>

Stanford though, has an interest in being able to report to US News and World Report a higher median verbal SAT score, so they want to have a record of it. They of course might look askance at those 500 scores, or it’s possible that they are telling the truth, and they do superscore and you’ll be better off.</p>
<p>mathmom are you telling me to use score choice?
I did not understand you.</p>
