Will a university know if you don't send them all of your scores?

<p>Besides the immoralities of not sending all of your SAT Reasoning and Subject Test scores, is there any way a university would know that you didn't send them all of your scores? Does the collegeboard put something on the score report saying that the student didn't send all of the scores if the university asked for all of them?</p>

<p>I’m not exactly sure if your scores will come with a big red flag on them, but it IS a huge morality issue. Honestly, I would not even risk the chance of the school finding out you did not send them. I can imagine that would adversely affect your chances of admissions a lot more than lower scores. I sent in all of my ACT and SAT scores to Georgetown, and some of them were less than amazing, but I was admitted EA. I think they stick to the fact that they look at your best superscored, etc.</p>

<p>I sure hope so. But I don’t think anyone on here can DEFINITELY say for sure. Unless they work for CollegeBoard or in an admissions office at a college, to be able to actually SEE what is being sent. </p>

<p>But, just in case they don’t (because I think that’s what others will tell you…they don’t), know this: It’s also possible that your high schools sends your standardized scores on your transcripts. Because Score Choice is new, all the kinks aren’t worked out yet. My D’s school sends the scores, and didn’t even tell us that. All scores that are reported back from SAT/ACT are appended to the transcript and sent. So Score Choice is moot. They’re working on a way to resolve it, asking for the students’ permission ,etc. But that step is not yet in place. We would never have known it, except for a casual misunderstanding of another question I asked. Sending it on the transcript is actually sufficient as “offical” for a few colleges. So the school does it as a service, so the child doesn’t have to pay the fees.</p>

<p>everything shows up if you’ve taken a collegeboard test… even if you sent your SAT IIs, your SAT Is will show up…</p>

<p>even with the new score choice, which is nice, but I don’t think Georgetown participates in it… but if it makes you feel any better, Georgetown only considers your highest scores in each subject (which is the case with most colleges)</p>

<p>yea, I was planning on sending all of the scores just because a) I would feel bad if I was admitted to the university because I didn’t submit all of the scores (morality) and b) I’m overly paranoid about the college finding out. I’m less worried about them seeing all of my reasoning test scores and more worried about them seeing all of my subject test scores…I wasn’t originally planning on applying to Georgetown (which is the only school that I’m applying to that requires that you send all scores), so I took a risk and took few subject tests that I knew could either go really well or really poorly…so I have 2 good scores and 3 not-so-good scores (I knew I would have to submit one of those scores to get 3 subject tests, but I was hoping not to send in all of them haha), but it’s a little bit reassuring that someone got in EA without 3 stellar scores.</p>

<p>don’t sweat it… Gtown only considers your highest scores… plus it’s only just one more application and if you get in, it’s an ego boost…</p>

<p>First of all, as it was already noted I do not think that you can choose which SAT scores you are going to send - collegeboard sends them all. I believe that with the ACT, however, you can choose which individual sittings you are going to report. At least that is how it was when I last checked.</p>

<p>If you lets say have high SAT scores but a low ACT you can choose not to send the low ACT and I dont think it is immoral in any way. If the situation is reverse and you have low SAT but high ACT, then you have to send all because Georgetown recommends the subject tests. Even if you could pick and choose which individual tests you would send, you would have no reason to feel guilty whatsoever.</p>

Yes, College Board does now have an option like ACTs, and it’s called Score Choice. You can send any individual test (any particular, or more, date(s) of SAT I, and/or any individual SAT IIs by subject and/or date, etc.).</p>

<p>And you definitely SHOULD “feel guilty” about using it. Because some colleges allow it and some don’t. Georgetown does not allow it.</p>

<p>^I was not aware of this new service. I am puzzled, however, by Georgetown’s unwillingness to allow it. The ACT has always been that way and I never heard any serious complaints. Does Georgetown then not allow ACT score choice either? how does this work?</p>

<p>Georgetown’s test reporting policies (from their website). </p>

<p>"Notice to prospective applicants applying for admission in 2010 and beyond:
Georgetown University does not participate in the Score Choice option available through the College Board or the similar program through Educational Testing Service (ETS). Georgetown requires that you submit scores from all test sittings of the SAT, ACT or SAT Subject Tests. Georgetown evaluates thousands of competitive applicants each year for admission; access to your full testing profile enables the admissions committee to fully and fairly assess your individual strengths in comparison to the entire applicant pool.</p>
