I know that Yale is not doing the score choice option.

but i don't exactly understand what score choice is.

does score choice include sat subject tests too?

does that mean yale is requiring you to send ALL your sat subject tests? i can't choose?

You asked a question and answered it too.
Score choice lets you pick and choose scores to send and show the best scores from each section allowing you to present yourself in the best light. Yale, however (as you already noted), does not allow for score choice, and so requires all your scores. Yes, all. This includes ALL your SAT Is and SAT IIs, assuming you have taken them more than once.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

To make your troubles go away, here is the short answer:
Send all scores to Yale. (There was someone who said you can substitute ACT for SAT and vice versa... but I don't think that applies).

Is this a matter of integrity to the student (to send all scores)? I don't quite understand Yale's reasoning. Why should a student have to send a score that does not accurately reflect his or her present academic abilities?

Because they want to see if the person took it 5, 6 ..10 times to try to up their score

My question sort of relates but then not really; I've submitted my application and I was planning on sending my scores today. I'm retaking subjects next week (last week for scea) and sending it directly to yale and some other colleges.

But I was confused on what Yale automatically sees? When we send a score (like my subjects) do they automatically see all of my scores? Or do I have to individually pay to send Yale everything? Like the tests I've taken before and all that...?

mifune asked: "Why should a student have to send a score that does not accurately reflect his or her present academic abilities? "

Because Yale doesn't want to encourage the triple, quadruple, etc. test sittings by kids from advantaged backgrounds. They feel students over-emphasize the final score and they want to put a bump in the road against that.

Can we send NONE of our SAT scores and only send in the ACT since Yale accepts the ACT in lieu of both the SAT reasoning & subject tests?

Score choice allows you to send as many or as few scores as you want, "Lanaesque." () So, when you register for the test, you can go on the section in whcih you choose what to send, and just select everything. It'll all be sent for the same fee. The one downside is that the scores from the particular sitting for which you use the four free score reports will automatically be sent (i.e. you can't choose NOT to send them). I mean, you'll have around 9 days after the November test date to choose which colleges will receive your four free score reports, and if you use those four free reports, your November scores will have to be reported. I think this is because scores get sent faster if you use the free reports, because I believe they're sent even before you get your results.

tomorrow: yes you can submit ACT only with no mention of your SATs
