<p>Yes, I don’t think CB would tell them without your permission. But what if the College contacts someone at your school? What if on an interview you accidentally let slip that you wrote more SATs than the college received? Your application would be rejected at once, at the very least.</p>
<p>Ger
Many schools dont even report SAT scores (I dont even let CB report my SAT score to my school)</p>
<p>Also, no, your interviewer claiming “Josh only sent in 3 SATs but took 5” would not be valid because he would have no evidence (i.e. score report from CB showing Josh took it 5 times). </p>
<p>Plus, the interview isnt even that important for top schools and thus does not hold that much power.</p>
<p>I agree that the interview would not be evidence, but what if the college decided to look into it further. What if the asked you straight out how many SATs you had taken? What if the asked for your permission to contact CB directly? I’m pretty sure that there are a lot of ways that this could go wrong.</p>
<p>I dont know why they would ever ask you straight how many times you had taken it. And if they asked to contact CB, you could simply say “no. I already sent my scores”. Plus, they wouldnt be able to do this for the thousands of applicants. </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure this is only an honor policy but we’ll see how this admissions cycle goes.</p>
<p>A college will not attempt to track down how many times you took the SAT to see if you are hiding lower scores in order to reject you. However, if you sent a score from December of your senior year to a college with such a policy, I could see where the adcom will likely think that the applicant is not following the honor code. They would be curious why you put all your eggs in one basket for a test so close to the application deadline, but is this honestly a way for a college to reject a student? Absolutely not. A school cannot legally inquire into a student’s test score history if these are not released directly to the institution.</p>
<p>Agree with mifune.</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, you guys are probably right. Colleges really have no way of enforcing this policy. Makes you wonder why the have it. It screws honest people and rewards those who break the rules.</p>
<p>To clarify things, I believe I heard at the Yale admissions session that the person interviewing you has no information about your GPA, SAT scores - none of that. The person interviewing you is interviewing you to see your personality, not a confirmation of what the ad officers already know.</p>
