<p>Yeah, colleges have been involved in the standardized testing business for so long that I would be nonplussed if they aren’t dichotomizing those who submit one test score and those who submit many. This is what I meant when I said that either way, no one would be at an advantage.</p>
<p>I have to say, though- in a perverse way, I think that I actually prefer this lack of transparency. If colleges had explicitly stated that they consider all SAT scores one sends like Cornell did until a few years ago, then I’m certain that I would have performed worse last year. Even without that kind of pressure, I managed to puke during my first SAT test. But as we all agree, being able to take a standardized test multiple times without any caveats is such an advantage that it behooves all colleges to address it somehow.</p>
