Question about application changes

I looked at the application changing website and when I looked under the SAT/ACT scores category (the part where you can change the self-reported scores), I only saw my December ACT official score report. My self reported scores are from the June test though. Both composites are a 29, my highest, but of course the section scores are different. It seems ridiculous, but these small kinds of things bother me.

Official score report: Dec- English 28, Math 28, Reading 35, Science 26, English/Writing 30

June self-report: English 30, Math 33, Reading 27,Science 26, English/Writing 30

I’m sorry you are bothered by this issue. However the system is showing your December score because it is the higher score with a UC score of 238 for December versus a UC score of 231 for your self-reported June exam. Even though the composite scores are the same, it is very possible for one score to be better for your UC application than another. This is why I always recommend sending in all scores for us to choose the highest score. If you want to see for yourself visit http://www.universityofcalifornia.ed...ship_reqs.html and click on the “Use our calculator to find out” link. Put in your UC GPA, or for just the score total any GPA will work, input your scores and hit calculate. We will use the exam that gives you the highest UC score. I hope this solves your frustration.
