What if you hide your SAT score to UCs?

UCs want all SAT scores sent to them.
1. Are UCs able to find out that you hid your score from them and still get your score?
2. What are the consequences if they catch you?
3. Do most people hide their SAT score to UCs? (for those who have sent in their application already)

They only take your highest standardized test score(s) so there is no reason to hide anything. If you are trying to hide anything, keep in mind that your high school may be including test scores on your transcript. Having a bad SAT score can happen to anyone... if you have made up your deficiency with a good ACT or different SAT test date, then your one bad SAT score will not negatively affect your application. It's best to be honest on the UC applications as being found out to be otherwise will get you rejected or rescinded.

When you say "hide", you mean you don't send all your score for the score report?
I thought that UCs have the score choice thing and that you only need to send in your best scores??
As for the online app, you just type in the best ones you got?
Anyone want to correct me on that?
