Yale's standardized testing policy

<p>Hello, Yale's admissions website says that Yale will not participate in score choice, and requires that all applicants send in score reports of every standardized tests (SAT, SAT subject tests etc) they have taken. </p>

<p>I am of of course planning on reporting all scores, but I was wondering how the Yale people will know if a student has indeed reported every test he or she has taken...
I mean, couldn't a student turn in only the best score without the college learning about it?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Not for the SAT - the college board makes the selection based on the school’s preference when sending scores. I don’t know about the ACT.</p>

<p>Not exactly matching the College Board submission could create a credibility problem. Report all scores! (if so required)</p>

<p>A college can rescind an application or a degree for misrepresentation of credentials. Yale doesn’t have specific language on their website that pertains to this issue, but Harvard does:</p>

<p>Take a look at this:</p>

<p>It appears that the CB is now not permitting selected scores to be sent to schools that do not accept Score Choice. </p>

<p>Just wanted to clarify that Y says IF you send a SAT score, you must send them all, and IF you send an ACT score, you must send them all. Y is different from schools like S who require that you send ALL standardized testing, period.</p>
