Score Reporting Thoughts?

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>So, Stanford is D's #1 school and even with around 5% acceptance rate she wants to give it a try. She plans to try REA but not sure which scores to send. The Stanford web site says send in all scores so they can superscore/mix&match...etc. D has taken three exams - 35 (Sept Junior year, 36/35/34/34/11), 36 (Sept Senior year, 36/36/36/36/10) and one SAT (early Junior 2230 (710/720/800/11) and one SATII (US History, 10th, 750). Two ACT socres are sent in already but she is unsure of whether to send in SAT/SATII scores. D is not too crazy about showing those scores. </p>

<p>I do not know what to tell her? Any Stanford experts who can give some insights? TIA. </p>

<p>I believe Stanford requires you send all ACT/SAT I scores: </p>

<p>Yep, the only choice she has is to send the SAT II US History or not.</p>

<p>I took the SAT, SATIIs, and the ACT and I feel my SAT and SAT IIs are strong enough. Do I still need to submit my ACT? How would the school even know that I took the ACT?</p>

<p>Per Stanford’s test score policy, both the SAT and ACT must be officially submitted if you took both tests. If your ACT is not as strong, it will not count against you. Stanford does super score, only they want to do it themselves.</p>

<p>^^ So is the submission of my ACT scores “honor based”? I don’t see how the school would even know that I took the ACT.</p>

<p>Please be advised that if you attend a U.S. school, your school and counselors have access to the scores for every test you have taken (including practice PSAT tests). Should you choose to withhold scores from Stanford, you do it with the risk of invalidating the authenticity of your application.</p>

<p>I"M NOT a pro in any way shape or form. i know of 3 kids in my town with stanford goals last year. 1) football player 27 ACT; in accepted into stanford. 2) music/math girl & talented; 32 ACT and in stanford. 3)Math GENIUS, 36 ACT, not accepted. </p>

<p>Your scores seem awesome . . . you need to make sure you have something to set you apart. </p>
