Out of my own ignorance I’ve been unaware that many schools require you to send ALL standardized tests taken. As a result, I’ve only sent the two ACT’s I took and the two subject tests I took to all the schools I applied to as both ACT sittings were better than the single SAT I took last year. I’m assuming the subject test reports will say “only selected tests” or something of that equivalent when colleges read them and tip them off that I didn’t send my required SAT. To fix this should I resend SAT score reports with every score attached to it? Will that annoy admissions since it will include repeated subject test results? Is it too late? I’ve also applied to Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and Cornell from the Ivies so if anyone knows something I don’t regarding those schools please help me. Thank you!
EDIT: Am I in the clear if I sent every ACT just not my SAT to colleges? Or must I send both every SAT and ACT?
As a side note, I did apply REA and was deferred so I’m hoping to not have jeopardized any consideration for RD.
I don’t think it is too late. It’s never too late to correct a mistake. the College Board says schools can’t tell. I say that only because schools should stop practices that tempt honest students to cheat or that penalize honest student compared to those that do cheat. I am not advocating disregarding what the schools request.
You need to check every school’s policy regarding testing requirements that you applied to but I believe you’re fine with what you did at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton. Cornell requires ALL test scores and it you applied to Stanford and Penn then they do too. Again, check the websites to verify. Also, sending subject test scores has become optional for many of the schools above.
Bottom line: as far as I know all you need to do is send your SAT l score(s) to Cornell out of the schools you mentioned above. Yale’s policy is a little confusing but you’re okay with what you’ve done. Good luck!
For the four colleges you mention, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton, you are fine just sending the ACTs and the subject tests. My understanding of Cornell’s current rule is that you are also fine since it changed two years ago to accept either all SATs or all ACTs, plus all subject tests. If you have other colleges and any happen to be Stanford, Penn, Duke or Georgetown, you need to send all SATs, otherwise you are also fine with just ACTs and subject tests.
