Sending Scores

<p>Ok, so I have no idea how this works. But, my belief is that ALL common application colleges require you to list all your ACT and SAT scores? However, UCs only require you to list your top score? (ACT or SAT) Is any of this correct? What about score sending for USC and University of Michigan?</p>

<p>So, I have a decently high SAT score but a mediocre ACT score. What other major colleges require me to send both?</p>

<p>Ok. So after an hour or so of searching, I realized that the UC website tells you to only submit your highest SAT reasoning score. But…I checked on the collegeboard site and they said that all UCs require all SAT scores (ex: “UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY All Scores”) <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf[/url]”>Higher Education Professionals | College Board;

<p>So, am I misreading something here?
Still need some more information on the common application.</p>

<p>Thanks for any replies</p>

<p>They will most definitely super-score it.</p>

<p>600R 600M 700W
700R 700M 600W</p>

<p>They will look at, or they say, as:
700R 700M 700W</p>

<p>-
Essentially just send all scores</p>

<p>I believe UC take the highest sitting instead of superscore.</p>

<p>I know FOR SURE that the UC require you to send ALL YOUR SCORES</p>

<p>COLLEGE BOARD IS STUPID BECAUSE THEY REMIND US WHENEVER A SCHOOL HAS A “SEND ALL SCORES” POLICY YET CB STILL ALLOWS YOU TO SCORE CHOICE EVERYTHING.</p>

<p>Sorry for being hijacking your thread, but: When you send your application from common app, is it okay to send your SAT II scores through to the universities when you get them at a later date via collegeboard?</p>

<p>Ok, sorry for being so ignorant but… this is what I am grasping seeing as how I am getting so many different answers. UCs require you to send all your scores but the colleges only get to see your highest score. Is this correct?</p>

<p>Thanks for all the replies so far.</p>

<p>^
When you send all scores, college will see all scores. So a better wording is, UC will use your highest sitting when making admission decision.</p>

<p>ah…
So, I self-report the highest score and send all my scores after I am accepted? taking the SAT multiple times will have no effect on whether I get accepted for UCs?</p>

<p>Thank You, A_Mom for all the help so far</p>

<p>No, UC campuses need your official score from collegeboard by early Jan. (the normal Dec. score reporting time) . Not after you’re accepted. (Don’t confuse w/ AP score)</p>

<p>I couldn’t find the UC instruction as how to self-report the score. I suggest you send a email to UCAppInfo (something like that) or call. But the bottom line is, they only use the official score that you send.</p>

<p>Lastly, it’s hard to say if it’s true that taking SAT multiple times will have no effect in the selective college since they use holistic review. There’s a few threads debating that.</p>
