<p>I made the mistake of choosing the four free schools to send my SAT scores to when I registered for it. My score was less than I was hoping for (2090). I later got a 34 on my ACTs and was going to not report the 2090, only to realize it had already been sent. I sent my 34 to my schools but will the 2090 reflect badly on me? (For schools like Duke, Vanderbilt, etc?)</p>
<p>I doubt it will hurt. If they are true to their word, then they should take your highest score. Now if it took multiple attempts to get those scores in a way that you look like a career test taker, that is another story. But if you are submitting one SAT and one ACT score, my guess is that you will be fine.</p>
<p>how many attempts is considered a career taker?</p>
<p>^ that’s for each college admissions officer to decide. My son and most of his classmates limited testing to three attempts.</p>
<p>I only took the SAT and the ACT once each. Thanks!</p>
