<p>I've heard that Yale doesn't let you...any other Ivies that don't let you use score choice?</p>
<p>well harvard does</p>
<p>Yeah, I’d heard that Harvard lets you use score choice.</p>
<p>upenn doesnt let you use score choice.</p>
<p>Darn. I didn’t know about penn. How bad do you think it would be for admissions people to find out that I got 710 on Math II the first time around? I got 800 on my second try though…</p>
<p>Penn doesn’t, Yale doesn’t, Columbia doesn’t. Harvard does, Brown does, Princeton does, Dartmouth does (but suggests that you send all scores).</p>
<p>Thank you! Ah, I guess score choice doesn’t screw me over too badly then…do the schools that let you use it like you more if you don’t use it?</p>
<p>They have not even had a year yet with score choice. so who knows whether they will like it or not. Generally, if they say you can use score choice then as a matter of integrity they cannot have some secret rule that says they will favor those who don’t.</p>
<p>They don’t know if you used it or not, and even if they did some under-the-table finagling to find out if you did, I’m sure they wouldn’t care. If they accept it, then use it.</p>
<p>tbh, i’m not paranoid, but do you really think they can’t see all ur scores? some sort of honor code is supposed to stop them? they can just pull it up anytime they want.</p>
<p>So basically, it’s up to collegeboard? I would think that they would be able to tell if you use it or not if they can control whether or not you use it (or suggest that you don’t use it, like Dartmouth.)</p>
<p>The reason Yale doesn’t take Score Choicing is so that people in your situation won’t spend time on mulitple tests in order to achieve some perceived boost when there isn’t one. Congrats on your 800. Congrats on your 710. Obviously, you’re *academically *qualified for Y with either score. </p>
<p>However, you won’t be accepted or rejected due to the 800/710 discrepancy. Holisitic means that. If Yale accepts you, it’ll be because the readers “felt” you’d add to the Yale community. Not because you had an 800 and the girl next to you gets rejected with the 720.</p>
<p>does score choice apply to sat 2s as well?</p>
<p>i thought princeton rejected it? whatevs it’s on cb.
yes, sc applies to sat IIs, too.</p>
<p>For those interested, the College Board published the result of a survey which provides colleges that have indicated they will require the applicant to submit all scores. Go here: <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf[/url]”>Higher Education Professionals | College Board;
The list of colleges begins on page 5 and those with “All Scores” by their name are ones who have indicated they will require submission of all scores.</p>
<p>As to whether they can actually learn of scores if you do not submit them, the College Board has made it clear that it will not inform any college, including by indicating anything on a score summary sent, whether you took more tests than the ones you choose to send. However, you still have the issue that many high schools put all of your scores on your official transcript that gets sent to colleges .</p>
<p>@percyshelley</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the colleges get to know if you used it or not
I think it appears on the SAT transcript</p>
<p>No it does not. College Board has already made it clear that as to any score you send, they will not be showing anything to indicate whether you have taken another test. Where colleges could learn the information is from the fact that many high schools put all your scores on your official high school transcript although that info should be removed if a student requests.</p>
<p>@drusba</p>
<p>you misunderstood my point</p>
<p>The colleges cannot know anything about your other tests
but they will know if you decided to use the score choice.
If you used it, most likely, they will think you did bad on the other test or took it too many times</p>
<p>“The colleges cannot know anything about your other tests
but they will know if you decided to use the score choice.”</p>
<p>No, they won’t. There is nothing that signals the fact that you used score choice on your transcript. The other scores simply do not go to colleges.</p>
