Sending Test Scores CONFUSED!!!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I have 2 ACT test scores. One of them is clearly better in ALL categories. The other one is worse and even without writing. </p>

<p>Am I required to send both scores? </p>

<p>Am I even required to have an official score report for both scores?
I can understand reporting it on the commonapp...</p>

2

<p>Subject tests reports can be tweaked according the college requirements (I checked 2X with reps from 2 different colleges)…but all SAT Is/ACTs have to be reported</p>

3

<p>Am I even required to have an official score report for both scores?
even if a financial hardship?</p>

4

<p>well…if you can’t even afford to send 2 scores…how can you afford to apply to Cornell???</p>

5

<p>The obvious answer would be a fee waiver.
Anyways thats not the case.</p>

<p>So I do need an official score report for both? Listing it on the common app is not enough?</p>

<p>I am just wondering how they can require everyone to send all of their act scores.</p>

6

<p>well ya, you gotta send a report from ACT Org that has both scores on it…the numbers you list on your common app aren’t official - the only one that’s official is the one FROM the ACT people</p>

7

<p>Every test score requires a separate score report.</p>

<p>Why would they even want an official one for the crappy test if I tell them about it, and send them the official one for the good test.</p>

8

<p>it’ll be best to call 607 255 5241 (general admissions office)</p>

<p>but that separte score report is weird. i sent the SAT, and for SAT every score is on one score report (unless you sent them multiple times)</p>

9

<p>I already called and the person had no clue what was going on.</p>

<p>Perhaps I will send it just in case</p>

10

<p>each individual ACT test has its own score report. beauty about the ACT: you can choose which test score to send in :)</p>

<p>so therefore, cornell only has to see your best score and itll be liek the lower test never happened</p>

<p>My high school reports ALL test scores on the transcript…</p>

12

<p>did you have to report the scores to your hs? i didnt check off that box when i took any of my tests</p>

13

<p>heh. good point haha.</p>

<p>oh well, none of my scores are that bad.</p>
