UF admissions officer says "regardless of score choice we can buy all your scores"

<p>enough said</p>

<p>source?
ten char.</p>

<p>How the hell can they buy scores?? I thought our scores were private information??? ***!!!</p>

<p>A source would be nice if you wouldn’t mind… :P</p>

<p>Didn’t your English teacher teach you anything about citing sources to add credibility? :)</p>

<p>I’m not gonna lie. I hope this is true. Even though it probably is not.</p>

<p>I looked up the quote online, and couldn’t find it anywhere. </p>

<p>This is such BS.</p>

<p>Not BS. And they don’t buy scores. They have electronic access to scores via FACTS.org and via you high school if you go to a public high school in the state. Turns out, most high schools are using an electronic transcript, and IF YOU REPORT SCORES to your school, FACTS.org and all state universities and state colleges in Florida have access. They, in fact, have access to all SAT scores, all ACT scores, every FCAT test you took even in the 2nd grade. If you get a copy of your high school transcript, and it is a 6-8 page printout with all your grades, scores, AP scores, immunizations, FCAT scores etc, that is everything the SUS (State University System) has access to. The longer you have been educated in the state of Florida, the more info it has.</p>

<p>If you have taken it, most likely they have access to it if you attend a public Florida High School.</p>

<p>Sigh. Only in Florida lol. Well, at least they pay for our ap exams.</p>

<p>it was at the uf outstanding scholars program someone asked the admissions officer about score choice and honors and he said oh score choice doesnt matter we buy all of your scores from collegeboard then the other officer tried to cut him off and went on damage control</p>

<p>I don’t believe that statement was actually made, but I do believe that admissions officers have their ways of finding out your previous SAT scores if they really wanted to.</p>

<p>However, I don’t understand what the big war is over this. If universities consider your highest scores from each sitting, why do they really care whether or not you use Score Choice? And if students know that the universities are going to use their highest scores, what is the purpose of having Score Choice? I think this would’ve been resolved if the College Board had just kept the lid on Score Choice to begin with and hadn’t reinstated it.</p>

<p>I go to a private school in florida, so I guess I am covered.</p>
