<p>NOTE: Although evidence points toward schools not being able to know that an applicant used score choice, its is still a risk and it is in the best interest of the applicant to follow to the schools policy. If you have taken the SAT too many times, most top school accept score choice, so just apply to those schools, and remember no school is gonna penalize you for taking the test too many times, you're trying your best to get into the best possible college and I'm admission officers will understand that. </p>
<p>No, when I used my free score report credits as while back I was able to check only 2 out of my 4 SAT II’s for Stanford, Caltech, Princeton, and Yale.</p>
<p>Actually, schools like Stanford that don’t require SAT II’s, encourage the use of Score Choice with the SAT IIs, however the same is not true with the SAT I.</p>
<p>so ive been a little confused about why certain schools dont use score choice… why exactly? does this mean, for example if my scores are 1950, 2120, then like 2300-is this looked down upon since I initially got a 1950?</p>
<p>No, they just like to see what your score was for every test you took. That does not mean they will only use the 1950, they’ll look at all of them. It’s just because some students do not like to show colleges that they got a “low” score so they score choice.</p>
<p>first, congrats on the jump. That’s impressive! Second, colleges say that they don’t care and only look at your tops score but taking the SAT more than 3 times just so you can improve by about 20 points is looked down upon. You didn’t do that, therefore you should be fine.</p>
<p>I just sent every college all of my scores, way easiier than figuring out who wanted what and picking and choosing.</p>
<p>^ As long as you don’t take it over 3 times, you’ll be fine. If anything, an upward trend is a good thing to show. Even the schools that don’t take score choice generally look at your highest for each section anyways.</p>

<p>^^I think if someone google “list of top schools’ score choice policies” or something like that, this thread would automatically come up, so it really doesn’t matter whether it’s stickied (:</p>
Does not agree with Collegeboard’s definition of score choice:
"
Score Choice is a score-reporting feature that gives students the option to choose the SAT scores by test date and SAT Subject Test scores by individual test that they send to colleges, in accordance with each institution’s individual score-use practice.
"
Sending partial Subject test scores from one test day is score choice, not sending it at all does not use score choice.</p>
(if you’re like me and are just sending scores today…)</p>
