@socalmom007@Ynotgo You do send SAT/ACT scores. What you don’t send is transcripts.
If the ONLY Cal State you are applying to is Cal Poly then you submit it to call Poly. But if you want to save $$, are sending testing to multiple Cal State Schools (which DS is) and only send one transcript you send it to the Cal Mentor Site. The confusing thing is if you send it to one University of California school, you have sent it to all. Sigh so because we weren’t taking the time to get the details right we will have to play an extra $15 to College Board for being sloppy.
My question was if you send your SAT I scores, do your SAT Subject tests get sent as well? I didn’t seen anything and when I look online I just get redirected to the same place that doesn’t answer my question.
@curiositycat333 – are you still asking about sending subject test scores generically or just for the UCs? I responded a few pages back when you asked about that earlier this afternoon. The CB site has allowed me to choose which SAT I & SAT II scores to send, other than for the schools that require all testing history.
Interestingly, UMD-CP appears in CB as ‘send all scores’ but I cannot see that anywhere on MD’s website.
Must go to bed…so many typos in that very short response.
For the UCs, you just send scores to any one of the UCs and they all have access to the scores.
You don’t send transcripts or letters of recommendation to either one. (If your kid decides to attend a UC or CSU, you will send the transcript to that specific college in June.)
@itsgettingreal17 and @hadmeathello We toured USCar and I don’t remember seeing a lazy river. The dorms were also a disappointment after uKy’s and Bama’s honors dorms. It is still one of dd’s top choices, but my memories are different.
Thanks @itsgettingreal17 – I noticed that when I sent the scores but could not see any mention of it on MD’s website. He has not actually started the app yet, so perhaps he will find it when he does.
I have now accidentally sent the scores to MD twice, instead of Michigan and MD each once. Annoyed at carelessness.
@Mom2aphysicsgeek When you toured USCar you were disappointed with the Honors dorm, or the regular dorms? Actually, we liked both, but the ‘regular’ dorm they showed us was not a freshman dorm, so kind of discounted it. The Honors dorm was gorgeous, we thought. But then, we haven’t seen Bama or UKy H dorms, so can’t compare.
I don’t think there could be a lazy river at USCar. A little too hilly. It wouldn’t be a raging torrential waterfall, but it would be more of a slightly-swift river-ish kinda thing. My memory could be failing me there, too I guess.
Oh, and I do recall the guide saying that the Honors dorm had one of the only all-you-can-eat cafeterias on campus. So, yes, I think that is what is keeping it so high on D’s list.
@hadmeathello We have been on so many tours that maybe I am picturing the wrong dorm. Weren’t USC’s rooms doubles and not private? Gosh, now I am wondering whatbdorm room I am picturing.
@whataboutcollege – the list covers quite a range of schools and geographic locations. It will be an interesting and long ride.
I didn’t have full faith that he would manage to submit all the Nov 1st apps, so I guess I held off ordering the Michigan score report back in Sept. I am still not sure how he will triage three apps with same due date. At least I know where he will be on Halloween!
@nw2this not really sure on that, we’ve looked at a few ways to structure his activities section and area debating using some of the additional information section to expand on 2 activities that really don’t fit well in the space provided in the main area. It’s such a limiting section that every word, and placement of it I think, really counts so it’s a matter of thoughtful abbreviation and consolidation.
Am sitting here right now reviewing the CA activity section and honor section of Education page and wondering just the same. How to showcase the things that matter, how to make applicant appear like a well-rounded geek, which honor or activity to jettison because it just will not fit.
This section required more attention than son gave to it, so we made some adjustments at the 11th hour Sat night. I think more adjustments are in order. None of his entries really warrants mention in the additional activity section, but one entry may need to be deleted in order to include one that has been left off entirely.
@curiositycat333 I’m not sure if your question was answered completely but I’ll add that when I went to send scores the default was to send all SAT/SAT II testing but you could click the Score Choice and customize exactly what was going to be sent. The only caveat was if you were using the 4 free sends that come within 10 days of taking a test then you had to send whatever scores your Child was taking on that testing day but could choose different scores from the past if you wanted.
@Mom2aphysicsgeek I’m right there with you as far as my foggy memory. I’m not sure about the exact rooms in the Honors dorm at USCar. My daughter has not expressed any sort of preference to room types yet. I think I mentioned before, she liked the concrete towers at Pitt, so if she liked that monstrosity, I think she’s OK in anything. She would be fine in a non-private double. I think those are the things that she will give more consideration once she has a decision to make.
They do all blur together don’t they? So far D very much likes traditional doubles with bath down the hall. She wants a full on “normal college experience.”
^^D prefers a private (or shared between 2 rooms) bathroom.
So many of the only-down-the-hall-bathrooms schools on her list force a significant number of freshmen into triples that are meant to be doubles. She could not handle a triple.
