I got a 35 on the ACT, a 1500 on the SAT, and an 800 on 2 SAT subject tests. I would be grateful if you could answer some questions.
- I would rather send my ACT than my SAT score, but I still have to send my SAT subject tests. I ended up sending my SAT scores to only some of my schools, because when I sent SAT subject test scores, CollegeBoard notified me that the college requested all scores. Should I report my SAT score on my Common App? If I do, then some colleges will know that I self-reported a 1500 but they won’t ever see the official score report. If I don’t, then some colleges will receive an official score report saying I got a 1500 but will never receive self-reported scores.
- I only took the ACT once in high school, but I took the ACT in middle school and got a pretty bad score. Do I have to send both scores for colleges like Cornell that require all ACT scores? Some schools like Stanford specifically exempt middle school scores, but Cornell doesn’t.
