superscore? how do you know what scores schools take?

<p>I read on another thread about a student using superscore and only sending colleges their best scores for each section. Is that possible? Does Collegeboard know what scores to send? How can we tell what scores a school with actually see?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>yeah im wondering this too</p>

<p>Schools differ on their policies. For example, I am most familiar with Columbia policy as I’m hoping to apply there in the future, and from their website I have found that they want all of your scores, but they also state they will be looking at the highest score you get in every section, therefore superscoring it. </p>

<p>Whether or not a school superscores is their own choice (as far as I know), so it might be best to check on each school’s policy individually. I think you would find that in many cases, their websites will provide sufficient information.</p>

<p>[SAT</a> Score Choice - A New Way To Report SAT Scores](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Send SAT Scores to Colleges - SAT Suite | College Board)</p>

<p>Go to the bottom and click on “SAT Score-Use Practices List” and it will give you a list of every single college in the US and which score choice practice they use</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>
