<p>Entomom,</p>
<p>Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but I never suggested that the OP not send the Subject Test scores, just not to send the SAT score.</p>
<p>I self-reported all my scores (SAT I, II, and ACT) and sent in all in the official score reports. I only got a 2140 on my SAT compared to a 35 on my ACT which worried me, but I still got in.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you send in your SAT II scores, you have to send in your SAT I scores as well.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s not what Sally said in the quote from post #11.</p>
<p>^My comment wasn’t directed at anything you said, but rather that the OP appears to think it’s better to hold back all SAT scores because their SAT is slightly lower than their ACT.</p>
<p>IMO, the benefit of the SAT IIs outweighs the lower SAT.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes she does:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And so does the Y website:</p>

<p>Ah, I believe that I misinterpreted both Sally’s point and Yale’s instructions. They were using “SAT score” to refer to scores from both the SAT Reasoning Test and SAT Subject Tests because they are operating under the outdated terminology of “SAT I” and “SAT II.” Jonv112 is correct, as is entomom’s advice: send all your scores.</p>
<p>^Righto. Given all of your contributions to CC, we’ll still let you stick around ;).</p>
<p>Haha, Thanks.</p>
<p>Ill send both then.</p>
<p>Another question on the self-reporting. My son has solid SAT1, SAT 2 and AP scores and didn’t take ACT. His number of SAT2 plus AP tests exceeds the 8 spots available on the Common App. Is it better to list only his AP scores and let colleges look at his official SAT score report for SAT2 scores or self-report at least 2 SAT2 scores?</p>
<p>^ I believe that you can list extra scores in the Additional Information section.</p>
<p>^ You are right. But that is where he’ll attach his resume. You cannot attach a file and write in the Additional Information section. And some schools don’t look at the resume. Another dilemma, it’s hard to keep the resume short as is, adding test scores makes it even harder.</p>
<p>^ If you don’t want to indicate the scores in the resume, the best idea is probably to list however many Subject Test scores are required by where he is applying and then fill in AP scores for the rest. If I were in that situation, I would do that plus list everything on the resume just to be sure.</p>
<p>Thanks, silverturtle.</p>
<p>So I know people are saying that if you do SAT I you don’t have to send in ACT and vice versa…</p>
<p>I took the SAT and got a pretty good score, but I’m trying ACT in September. If I bomb the ACT, do I even have to self report it on the commonapp? Can I just pretend like it never happened, in essence, and just send in my SATs?</p>
<p>^^No. Yes.</p>
<p>Okay, so my problem is this: I took both the SAT and ACT, and self-reported both scores (along with my APs). I got a 36 composite on my ACT, and a 2400 on my SAT (when I retook it this past June). I’m kind of proud of my scores on both tests, so I self-reported. However, 1. Colleges claim that they don’t give preference to one test over the other. And official score reports cost money. And 2. I got an 8 on my ACT essay, which if considered would actually kind of bring my ACT score down, while I got a 10 on my SAT essay, which didn’t bring my SAT writing score down and is in the “higher” range. One Harvard alumni seemed pretty impressed when I mentioned my scores on both tests, so I think it would weigh positively, but wouldn’t the essay bring it down? My point is, should I send both SAT and ACT scores? And if I don’t send ACT scores, should I bother self-reporting?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
