<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am applying for the University of California Schools which allow score choice. However, I wish to submit my application in the next few days before the servers go down soon due to overload. </p>
<p>On the application I am required to put down an SAT score, which I did, and marked that I took a test but have not received scores. However I just took an SAT this Nov. and I am sure I scored a couple hundred points higher compared to my old one. Since I would have submitted by application before the Nov. 24 report comes out which score do I send? If I score lower I obviously would send the score that I typed on the application prior. But If I score higher am I required to send my lower score that I typed in AND my new higher score? Or do I just disregard my lower score that I typed in with the application? Thanks! Ask for clarification if this is too confusing.</p>
<p>Put your current score on the application. Send your new score when it comes out. The UC will use your highest single-sitting SAT in evaluating your application. (The main effect score-choice is having on the application process is it is causing even more stress for applicants.)</p>
<p>If you list a score on the application, official scores supporting that should be sent. To list a score and not send it would imply a mistake on your application.</p>
<p>Even though one score will be significantly lower than the higher score I should submit both correct? Will this affect my chances of admission since I submitted two scores ( one lower and one much higher ) because other people will have only submitted one score? Thanks.</p>
<p>UC uses your highest single sitting score in admissions. I see no reason to doubt this clear statement and there is nothing to support the assumption that those submitting only one score using score choice have any advantage at all.</p>
<p>Your only other option is to submit your application with no scores and wait to see your new score before choosing which to send.</p>
<p>Additional note: You should probably look up UC the campuses you are applying to on the College Board website. [College</a> Search - University of California: Los Angeles - UCLA - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=992&profileId=6) All of the UCs I have looked up do NOT allow score choice.</p>
<p>thank you very much for your help. I have decided to send all my scores even though one most likely will be far lower than the others since UC will choose my highest score anyway.</p>
