Will Stanford penalize for this?

For Stanford, I know you’re supposed to send ALL scores, and I did. However, I took the SAT 4 times (increased each time and achieved my superscore of 2360 over the last 2 sittings) and the ACT once (35). Because I took these tests a total of 5 times, will I be penalized or maybe looked at in a different light?

Secondly, on the Common App, I only self-reported my two highest SAT scores and said I only took it twice instead of 4 times. Will this also be something they look at questionably?

Apologies if I’m stressing over the pointless, but I appreciate any help.

Thanks

You are. The answers to your question are no and no. Reporting scores on the CA is optional. Colleges will always look for the score report instead of relying on your word.

Those are really good scores. Your acceptance or rejection is going to be determined by other factors.
