why the heck would you need your sat scores??

to my knowledge i've never heard of anyone having to ask for them so who knows, they might keep them....but i highly doubt it

ummm, i'm sure they'll have them in your file but as skraylor said.....your SAT scores mean nothing now....the only thing that matters in placement is AP scores and placement tests.....sorry to break it to you but that near-perfect SAT score and those perfect SAT II scores have ceased to matter now that you are in college.

Your application is in your permanent file. They probably save it for a number of years after you graduate, if not forever. Hell, they probably save the applications of everyone who is rejected for some amount of time.

My French SAT places me into a higher class................ and my SAT scores were far from perfect (660 in French for instance - still puts me in the final semester of the language requirement).

there are only a handful of classes where they will actually check things like placement test scores, ap scores, sat scores, etc...

most common languages-french, spanish, italian,etc.- dont care and just let you place into whatever class you want...if you fail, that's your business (tho if you place into a class too easy for you sometimes the teachers will b*tch you out)

Is there a Japanese placement exam required? (I took Japanese all throughout high school.)
