What! Cornell hacked into my CB account.

Applying to College

Not really but heh…

I didn’t even report my scores to Cornell but they have my SAT scores… and incorrect ones at that.

this is the history of my SAT1 Scores:

<h2>M … V</h2>

800 550 (jan 2004)
780 610 (june 2004)
790 670 (nov 2004)

so all are valid scores

And the cornell application status page reads:

highest math: 780
highest verbal: 610

so at first I said to myself, hey! it’s 800~~~ nooooooo (because I was afraid it might affect my chances, even though I’m a regular applicant).

then I scrolled down to see if my SAT2 scores were correct but they were marked as not received.

this was when this whole thing struck me as odd. How could they only have my SAT 1 scores? and my second one only at that?

odd things:

<li>cornell has my scores in the first place</li>
<li>cornell has only sat1 scores</li>
<li>cornell has incorrect sat1 scores (unless they actually take highest score in one seating only)</li>

anyone?

<p>Could be a different person with the same name.</p>

<p>Call Cornell immediately.</p>

3

<p>But isn't it almost impossible that someone with the same name would have the same address and social security number as me? and same SAT scores at that.</p>

4

<p>One suggestion as to what happened: maybe you marked Cornell as a recipient of your scores for the June test date, but not for any other test dates? You had to send your scores to them at some point in time, vitamin1.</p>

5

<p>Maybe Cornell only takes the highest single sitting?</p>

6

<p>Oh, I see. You probably just didn't send them your scores after your final testing.</p>

7

<p>Cornell, like most other schools, probably takes the highest score from each sitting of your SAT. (I know MIT does, and all the other schools I applied to did also). However, they probably haven't recieved your November scores yet, which is why they don't have your 670 listed yet. If you took your SAT II's in November they probably haven't received them either which is why they aren't listed.</p>

8

<p>I took sat2's in may and oct.</p>

<p>in any case will all of this be cleared up if i registered to have my scores sent to 4 schools including cornell? (which i assume reports ALL of my scores)</p>

9

<p>You marked Cornell as a recipient of your June 2004 SAT scores (so they were sent immediately to Cornell) but you did not mark it as a recipient of any of your other scores (Jan SAT, SAT IIs), and the november scores can't have gotten to the schools yet, because they only came out two days ago.</p>

<p>And to answer your question, yes it will be sorted out once you send ALL your scores to Cornell - $7 at collegeboard.com</p>

10

<p>HEY SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! they posted my may 2004 scores and not my scores from october, although i havent sent them any score reports! whats going on!</p>

11

<p>"Although I didn't send them any reports"</p>

<p>Maybe that's your problem????</p>

<p>Try sending in your report and see what happens...</p>

12

<p>yea... but these scores were from JUNE. last week, cornell did not have my scores.</p>

<p>it is november now :(</p>

<p>I only registered to have my scores sent after the november test.</p>

<p>I thought score reports (the free ones where you plan it before testing) are comprehensive.</p>

<p>if not, then CB is the greatest money hoarding jerk company ever.</p>

13

<p>They are comprehensive. Give Cornell a few days. They could be overwhelemd right now, as I've heard many schools are.</p>

14

<p>the thing is they have my may scores and not october... but i havent sent them a report yet, cuz i am planning to after december SAT II's... its weird ... they mustve gotten my scores off of my application... since i submitted a few days ago. but still.. why didnt they just use october? o well</p>
