<p>What do you think of this? I personally blame the College Board for having such a confusing layout; I was notified by CB and by students/teachers/guidance counselor that I could choose to send whichever score I want to. However, the truth is that only a portion of schools (my top 2 schools included) honor score choice, and there are 5 variations of the score choice policy (Not to mention that SAT II’s are not listed and you need to visit each individual school’s website). Are students expected to know this? I used to blame my GC for telling me wrong information, but now I realize that no one really knows the intricacies of score choice - apparently you can get away with using it. I only became aware of the variations of score choice policy and the schools that don’t honor it because I visited this site.</p>
<p>In 9th grade, I took SAT II’s in world history. I knew I was going to fail, but I didn’t bother to cancel because I figured that I just wouldn’t send it. Plus I also took chemistry that same day (which I studied for and wanted to know my score). I ended up in the 700’s for chem and the 500’s for WH. As someone applying to top universities, this 500 is not an option. I know many of you will say “colleges will understand that it was only 9th grade… bla bla bla” but face it. Would YOU want to send a 500? Probably not.</p>
<p>End rant.</p>
<p>I am interested in those who have broken a school’s score choice policy and how they ended up.</p>
