<p>…when reporting “% of students within score range” </p>

<p>How do they handle students who submit BOTH SAT & ACT scores? </p>

<p>…it is reported that they will honor the higher score but if the ACT score is higher and thus what they used in admission, do they still use that students SAT score in their cumulative stats? My interest stems from the fact that only 11% of admits had a Math SAT score below 650. Yet I know that all 5 of our former students now at Cornell had scores lower than 650 but had ACT scores significantly higher.</p>

<p>The cumulative SAT score statistics are just that – cumulative SAT score statistics. So they wouldn’t exclude anybody who submitted ACT scores as well.</p>

<p>To be fair, the percentage of enrolled students with SAT M scores lower than 650 is higher than 11 percent.</p>

<p>…yes sorry the % of admits under 650 is 12% not 11%. I really wonder about this. Much like “scorechoice” allows students to report only highest score. Does rules of “common data set” allow for colleges to report only incoming students highest standardized test score score?</p>
