Score Choice?

<p>All right.</p>

<p>I am apprehensive to apply to some top schools because they don't do score choice. My SAT scores are atrocious and I'm hoping on the December test I raised them significantly.</p>

<p>How exactly do schools find out? How does score choice work? Is it better just to send all the scores?</p>

<p>What ivy leagues adopt score choice?</p>

<p>Four of the eight Ivies allow score choice. These are Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Brown. Yale, UPenn, Cornell, and Columbia require you to send all scores.</p>

<p>Technically, you can send whatever scores you want to any school, despite the school’s score choice policy. However, if the college finds out that you didn’t send all of your scores when they required them, they might not be pleased.</p>

<p>Here’s a link to the College Board list of schools and their score choice policies:

<p>I was told that counselors still do not really understand how score choice works since it is in its first year. So I personally think that the best thing to do is report the scores the school asks for. That way you will not get in trouble later.</p>
