<p>I know that this has been asked many times before, but I really need some knowledge about this problem.</p>
<p>I have an ACT proportionally much higher than my SAT I score (which is extremely low - 2040). If I don't self report my SAT scores and only submit SAT IIs and ACT's, will the SAT I still reported along with my SAT II's hurt my application?</p>
<p>Thanks..</p>
<p>don't beat yourself up just because it's CC...2040 is not "extremely low". submit both. what was your math SAT I? if that was on the low side for caltech applicants (say <= 730? i don't really know), you might want to retake just to bring that up. </p>
<p>at any rate, it <em>seems</em> like you don't have a choice in terms of withholding your SAT I. take it for what its worth though, i'm not involved with admissions at all.</p>
<p>If you can do well on a test, then you deserve the score. (the chances of doing well from randomized guessing are obviously extremely low, so a high score can easily be attributed to the test taker) Sometimes, for various reasons, people do "badly" on a test, so that score(s) may not reflect their true ability. From what I've gathered after reading more brochures and other junk than I would have cared to, it appears many universities operate under this idea. I could be wrong, but I don't think you would be hurt by the "low" score.</p>
