will college convert old sat scores to new one for 2017
The College Board has some guidance on this.
[QUOTE=""]
"Since most students in the high school class of 2017 will submit new SAT scores, most colleges will convert old SAT scores to new SAT scores for this cohort."

They also say this about why and how to concord scores:
[QUOTE=""]
"To translate scores on the old and new assessments when some students have taken one and some have taken the other. (Consistently concord scores in one direction, preferably old SAT to new SAT.)"
"To understand a new SAT score in relation to an old SAT score. (Concord new SAT score to old SAT score.)" https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/understanding-sat-scores-2016.pdf

So if the college is using the concordance tables and following College Board’s recommendations for concordance, they will likely convert old to new unless a majority of SAT submissions are for the old test. You might want to check with your colleges of interest to determine how they are viewing the SAT this year.
