Honestly, what could stop me from using score choice?

<p>I could just simply use score choice to hide previous unsatisfactory scores and show Stanford/all colleges my recent and best SAT can’t I?</p>

<p>Stanford wants all, but I really doubt they can do anything against score choice policy. Besides feeling guilty, what can stop me/hurt me?</p>

<p>Stanford actually tells collegeboard that they want all scores. I remember sending my scores; the little checkboxes that were used to choose which scores to send were greyed out, and there was a little note that said “this college requests all of your SAT scores” or something to that effect. The process itself is what keeps you from using score choice.</p>

<p>Even if you do manage to do it, here are your options.</p>

<p>a) Do it. They find out sooner rather than later. Rejected.</p>

<p>b) Do it. Accepted? They find out later. Kicked out… really.</p>

<p>c) Do it. Accepted? They find out after you graduate. Diploma rescinded.</p>

<p>d) Do it. Accepted? They don’t find out after you graduate… wait for the rest of your life hoping they don´t find out and rescind your diploma THUS ENDING YOUR CAREER.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I seriously doubt finding out will get ur kicked out/rescinded</p>

<p>How about Diploma rescinded? LoL</p>

<p>Nothing can stop you from using score choice, although I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s an honor code violation, which Stanford takes pretty seriously if they find out. </p>

<p>really, you should just submit all your scores and play it safe. It’s not going to hurt you (seriously, it actually won’t…no matter how bad you think a couple sittings were), stanford will just pick out your best scores and use those. They just want all of the sittings.</p>

<p>“They just want all of the sittings.”
If they are not going to consider the other sittings, WHY do they want to see them?</p>

<p>This has been bothering me as well.</p>

<p>I doubt that any admissions officer will just blindly look by a SAT score thats 300 points lower. Or maybe say 3 of your scores were 2000-2100 and then only one was 2300. IM sure that will effect their decision.</p>

<p>Also, i second what aglages said. Why else would they want all of them</p>

<p>@enigma.</p>

<p>thats not true. thats all i can say.</p>

<p>Stanford doesn’t want people strategizing on all these little points on the application. There really isn’t any benefit to using score choice and it could only (potentially—very unlikely though admittedly) hurt you. As tempting as it is to try to find some motive for the admissions committee wanting all the sittings, I can assure you its not worth the time.</p>
