Do top schools honestly super score, or do they consider lower scores?

<p>I actually got a chance to talk with a USC admissions officer today. Scores are processed by computer to show your best score per subject (so superscore), and if they really wanted they could go through and see your scores by sitting but it’s not worth their time.</p>

<p>DMT makes some great points. If a school asks for “all” scores (all sittings of SAT’s, SAT Specials, all sittings for ACT’s) they want you to be honorable and send them all. Don’t hide scores if the university or college wants them all. Follow their directions.</p>

<p>As to “do schools who say they perform super scoring actually do so?”, well in reverse, if they say they do, take them at their word that they are being honest and will super-score. I reviewed an email yesterday from a dean who, as Seahawks says, indicates a computer spits out the final highest sub-scores of all the sittings and best overall super-score. </p>

<p>Honesty on one’s college application is the only way to go.</p>
