I just learned that prestigious colleges such as Stanford want ALL sat scores to be reported. If I scored 1700 on the first one, then 2250 on my second one, would it affect my chance of admission into a prestigious college like Stanford.Did I make a mistake and not cancel my second one.
*first one
This will likely minimally affect your application. Repeated (as in over three or four) tests may raise eyebrows, but it’s very normal to take the SAT twice. Not to mention a 2250 in one sitting (not superscored) is quite impressive in its own right!
Your scores are excellent. Your first SAT test’s effect on admittance will be arbitrary. This policy is most likely to catch those who return again and again, paying from their parents’ pockets to retake the SAT until they get the scores they want.
