<p>Hello all, I am wondering whether I should use score choice or not. I am applying to all the Ivies and MIT and Colorado state, Michigan state, northeastern as safeties. </p>
<p>1st test 2250 800 reading 700 math 750 writing</p>
<p>2nd test 2350 760 reading 790 math 800 writing </p>
<p>I also got 32 Act should I send?</p>
<p>Will the 700 in math first time look bad? Or should I send all scores to have a 2390 superscored?</p>
<p>For schools where you have the option, why not just send the 2nd SAT? It’s a great and well balanced single sitting score. The difference b/t a 2350 and 2390 is insignificant, in fact statistically zero, given the range that each score represents. Don’t send the ACT unless colleges require all tests. You’ll save money and the concordance for a 32 is 2080-2130.</p>
<p>ok thanks… any other thoughts</p>
<p>If you submit both SAT scores, your superscore is 2390, so I would NOT use score voice and submit all of your scores. I wouldn’t submit the ACT.</p>
<p>I would skip the ACT. If the college superscores (you can tell on the website) OR requires all scores to be sent (eg, Yale, not sure who else at the moment, website can tell you again), then send both SATs. They mean it when they say that, and a 700 isn’t a dismal score anyway. If the college does not use score choice (just considers one sitting, some state colleges do that), then just send them the second SAT.</p>
<p>Check the schools you are applying. If they do superscore, sent both SAT score in. It would not hurt you but may help.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your fine scores.</p>
<p>Do not send the ACT score - it is “only” the 96 percentile and might hurt you.</p>
<p>All the other scores are well into the 99 percentile, except for the 700 math. These will not hurt you in any way.</p>
<p>I would suggest simply sending the second SAT score and deleting the first entirely. The difference between 2350 and 2390 is immaterial. However, note that some schools, such as UPenn, require scores from all tests taken to be submitted.</p>
<p>By the way, thanks for not asking the ridiculous cc overachiever question, “Should I take the SAT again to try for a perfect score?”</p>
