<p>As the title says, which Ivies superscore the SAT? Even if you do not know them all, if you know one Ivy does or does not superscore the SAT, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Yale does not</p>
<p>Princeton does</p>
<p>Cornell does not</p>
<p>Yale doesn’t? Are you sure about that? I’ve heard differently.</p>
<p>Yale requires you to report all scores. That, in effect, is the same as superscoring.</p>
<p>Yale wants to see your scores from every sitting, though they claim they’ll only consider your highest score from each section. Basically, if you’ve taken it twelve times just to pull a 2200, that’s not such a good thing, but it doesn’t mean you should never retake or that they’ll only consider your highest sitting.</p>
<p>Brown superscores, as far as I know.</p>
<p>What makes you think that Cornell does not superscore? (By the way, Yale does superscore.)</p>
<p>cornell does superscore, form what i have read they want all your test scores but consider only your highest scores for the admission decision.</p>
<p>^^^This post is over a month old. Hopefully the OP actually took 15 minutes and went to the primary source (college websites) to find out the answer to their question rather than trusting strangers on an internet website.</p>
<p>haha well all commonapp membership schools superscore SAT. which means: Brown, Princeton, Cornell, Yale, Dartmouth, and Columbia</p>
<p>Harvard and UPenn are both CommonApp members and I’m pretty sure the former superscores while the latter doesn’t. I’m going by an old disccusion back in December of 09, when mifune’s thread featured some posts that brought up some prominent colleges’ policies regarding superscoring. Things could have changed since then. Columbia is a CommonApp member now, is it?</p>
<p>I was told by an admissions rep that Penn DOES superscore. (They also require all scores sent)</p>
<p>When colleges say they superscore, do they unconditionally consider it even if it is quite a bit higher than your highest single sitting?</p>
<p>That’s the thing, I don’t think so. Otherwise, why would they make you send all of them?</p>
<p>This is directly from Yale’s webpage :</p>
<p>Some colleges will consider only my highest scores. Why does Yale require a full testing history?</p>
<p>In some cases an applicant’s testing history can provide useful contextual information to the admissions committee. Although the committee works with summary information that focuses attention on the highest officially reported scores you attained on each section of the SAT I, the highest scores on individual subject tests and/or the highest ACT composite score, committee members and the readers of your application will have access to a full history of all officially reported scores.</p>

<p>I highlighted the expressions that I thought were important. It doesn’t mention that Yale SUPERSCORES the submitted scores; rather, it would FOCUS on the superscored scores but will still LOOK AT all your scores.</p>
<p>i wouldn’t call that superscoring…</p>
<p>^ I have heard Yale representatives use the word superscoring to describe their practice, but I would agree that it is a modified form of what we typically think of as superscoring. It seems like a really silly policy, though: plenty of applicants will knowingly or accidently (despite the warning) disobey Yale’s request for all scores.</p>
<p>All ivies superscore SAT. Also, all except Harvard say they will focus on the highest two SAT II scores if you take more. Harvard says it will equally consider all IIs sent. It of course becomes muddy when the college also says it requires all scores which raises the suspicion that they will use lower scores against. Yale, as an example noted above, phrases it as it focuses on highest subscores for SAT and highest IIs and reviewers get summaries of files that show that but can, if they choose, go look at the complete file and see full history of test scores to put things in context. Makes you wonder what they really mean.</p>
