<p>LOLOLOL; at least you guys aren’t in the same pit as me.</p>
<p>33 on the ACT, 1700 on the SAT</p>
<p>I’m a junior and have taken each once with no prep. I don’t plan on retaking SAT though because my practice tests only max out to like 1750. -_-</p>
<p>Score Choice - you can choose which scores to send
Super Score - the school considers only top scores from each section for SAT Reasoning and top score for SAT Subject Tests by single test</p>
<p>Don’t confuse the two.</p>
<p>Here is each school’s Score Choice practices: <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf</a> </p>
<p>There is no nice big list for Super Scoring, but you should find this information on each institution’s website OR on CB when you’re sending scores (it will tell you when you’re at checkout)</p>
<p>I have a question regarding sending SAT scores. I am applying some schools that don’t use score choice, Macalester, Columbia, and Yale. I sent all of ACTs to each school. My ACT score was 33. And I sent my SAT subject test scores to Columbia. However I reported on my APP that I took the SAT II subject test. Should I send these scores to Yale, and Macalester? On their websites it says that they only require ACT or SAT+2 subject. Also I took the SAT once and got a 2050. Will these colleges be able to tell that I took the SAT from the score report with my subject tests? If I send in these scores now will my app be late?</p>
<p>So do the SUNYs accept or not accept Score Choice?</p>
<p>I’m not really sure what is meant by unis not accepting score choices, can anyone pls explain it in further details? </p>
<p>What if you took SAT 2 times? Then which score will they look at?</p>
<p>Score choice basically means you can choose which scores colleges see and don’t see.</p>
<p>If I take the SAT 3 times and get a 1700, 1900 and a 2200 I can opt for the colleges that accept score choice to only see the 2200. Colleges that don’t accept score choice want to see all scores and will take the scores in context during admissions.</p>
<p>Is there anything new on this topic? I’m paying a college counselor for my son and she said not to worry about schools rejecting score choice. Does this mean that they can’t tell? Right now Georgetown is my son’s top choice. He probably won’t get in there but may want to transfer there. Would this affect his chances as a transferee?</p>
<p>He’s thinking about taking the SAT in the fall of his junior year but if he can’t use score choice this may not be a good idea.</p>

I am not criticizing, but was curious why you are paying someone when there’s so much good, free info on the internet? What does he/she supply that that you cannot find on CC or similar sites?
Are there others on here who pay someone like this?</p>
<p>Do you have a “free” answer to my question? I know many people who pay for outside advisors. It’s a miniscule percentage of what we’ll pay for college. Sometimes the kid will listen to someone else tell them something. I probably don’t need her but we’re not going to pay for that many hours.</p>
<p>Columbia doesn’t?
What>.<</p>
<p>^Amazon
My free answer is do not lie to the college and do not teach your son to lie.
It is good that you are not paying that many hours to someone who is encouraging you to deceive Georgetown.
Send all scores.</p>

<p>With score choice, if I choose not to send scores of a particular test date, but choose to send only my higher scores, will the colleges still receive my other scores?</p>
<p>Ha … thx for this!</p>
<p>Columbia now offers score choice!
“Applicants may select the Score Choice option for the SAT or choose to submit specific ACT composite scores. However, it should be noted that the application review process for Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals who cannot be defined by any single factor to determine their suitability for admission. When evaluating applicants, we consider only the highest testing results reported from individual sections of the SAT and the two highest required SAT Subject Tests or the highest Composite on the ACT, always seeking to give students the greatest opportunity to showcase their academic talents and hoping to make the testing experience as stress-free as possible. We encourage applicants to take those examinations no more than twice, but we do not penalize applicants for exceeding that recommendation.”</p>
Do all of the following colleges still disallow score choice?
Carnegie Mellon University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Georgetown University
University of California campuses
University of Pennsylvania
Rice University
Stanford University
Yale University
I’ve got the same question as @giraffeinatree
So helpful, thanks.
Most colleges I am looking at allow EITHER SAT or ACT, plus subject tests. My ACT score is better than my SAT score, so I am wanting to send my ACT scores in addition to my subject tests. When I attempt to unselect my SAT I tests, it says that I have chosen not to send a score that is required by the college. So, does sending only SAT II (subject tests) and not SAT I count as using score choice?
Are you sure you are reading the order of what is accepted in the correct order?
ACT or SAT I, plus Subject Tests means if you use the ACT, nothing else is needed. If you use the SAT I as the main test, the Subject Tests are required to be sent.
SAT or ACT, plus Subject Tests means you have the option of including Subject Tests (which are optional for this school) as additional information, but the ACT is being used as the “college entrance exam” for assessment of your college readiness.
SAT Scenario #1: 2000, 2100.
SAT Scenario #2: 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400.
Most elite schools prob won’t even consider the student in Scenario #1 because the scores are too low. The student in Scenario #2 might at least draw some attention, especially if he/she releases only the 4th and 5th scores. The SAT scores are your personal property. Colleges don’t have access to your scores unless you release them.
Even if a college somehow found out that you took the SAT 5 times, you would have zero chance with Scenario #1. At least you have a chance with Scenario #2.
