Schools like Carnegie Mellon and Cornell say they do not participate in score choice, meaning that you must send all of your SAT scores, however, if you’ve taken both the ACT and SAT, and prefer your ACT scores entirely, is it allowed for me to only submit the ACT and the Subject Tests?
Tl;dr
Do I have to send my SAT scores to a college that doesn’t participate in score choice of I was only going to send the ACT anyways, but have indeed taken the SAT.
^realized that both paragraphs are roughly the same size lol I’m an idiot
I was wondering the same thing, since I want to apply to both CMU and Cornell and my ACT score was much better than my SAT. I think they both require all scores from one OR the other so submitting just ACT and pretending the SAT doesn’t exist is acceptable
@kat2016 can you confirm that? I’m in that exact situation
@Jcannon1023 Cornell’s website says “You must submit your scores for either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT.” under Standardized Test Scores here http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/first-year-applicants/admission-requirements
Not positive about CMU, I looked around their website and I couldn’t find any clear statements about that… Let me know if you find out anything!
@Jcannon1023 and also, in that same link, Cornell only specifies that you must submit all SAT scores & they do not participate in College Board’s Score Choice, but doesn’t say anything about the ACT so I think you would be able to chose the ACT test dates you send
Update: from CMU’s website “Applicants are required to submit all official results of either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT with Writing and SAT Subject Tests.” http://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/standardized-test-requirements
Yeah I looked on both websites and found same thing! If I learn anything about CMU I’ll let you know!!! @kat2016
@Jcannon1023 I edited my post, idk if you saw it, but CMU also says either one or the other so looks like submitting only ACT for both is acceptable!
