<p>What does “Each time you register
for the SAT and/or TOEFL
exam, list Penns College Board
code number as 2926 to ensure
receipt of your official score
reports” mean?</p>
<p>It is on the “Instructions to complete Penn’s
Application Supplement for Fall 2011”</p>
<p>Penn requires ALL scores to be submitted and that’s their code. You can’t pick or choose your score submissions. Of course if you don’t intend to submit your scores to them, don’t put it in.</p>
<p>I’ve got decent scores on both the SAT and ACT. However, I’ve taken the SAT 3 times (including freshman year which is low) and the ACT only twice. Can I send only the ACT scores and pretend I never took the SAT?</p>
<p>@capenn15 Okay thanks. But I do not remember an area I could put this code when I registered for the SAT. Do I enter it when i send scores through Collegeboard?</p>
<p>I believe it’s the code you use when you state which schools get your SAT scores. Don’t you get 4 free scores (can’t remember if that’s ACT or SAT). </p>
<p>FYI: Submit what you want, but Penn’s website says:
Which Test?
Penn requires first-year applicants to take the SAT Reasoning Test and two SAT Subject Tests in different subjects OR the ACT Plus Writing. No preference is given to either test. However, Penn requires that applicants submit all testing results from each administration of the ACT, SAT, and SAT Subject Tests. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that official score reports are released and submitted to the University of Pennsylvania for all tests taken.</p>
<p>And quite a noob at this. Just a quick question.
When sending scores, do I write down my scores on the Common App and and also send the official scores through the College Board? So sending scores through the CB will be entirely separate from the Common App.</p>
<p>Not an expert on this, but I believe you self report scores on the Common App. Check the college website to find out when you have to have test scores submitted. I say that because you may apply and change your mind…why waste money sending scores if yo don’t have to.</p>
<p>I have been told by numerous applicants (including current Penn students) that they did not submit either the SAT + SAT IIs or ACT when applying to Penn. But if you are a national merit scholar semi-finalist, wouldn’t you have to have taken the SAT and thus UPenn would know you aren’t being entirely truthful?</p>
<p>@GreyWolf: “they did not submit either the SAT + SAT IIs or ACT when applying to Penn.” That sentence doesn’t make sense. Do you mean that they PICKED SAT/SAT-IIs OR ACT to send?</p>
<p>@hardworking21 Whoops. Yes, that is what I meant. For example, I scored a 36 on the ACT, but only got a 2300 on the SAT. Furthermore, my SAT score was from my third test date (that is if you include the SAT I took freshman year) and my SAT II scores were 800 Math II, 760 Spanish, and 660 Literature :(. Naturally, I would hope to avoid sending the SAT + SAT II if possible, but wouldn’t my status as a National Merit Semi-finalist tip them off? </p>
<p>As I’m probably going to just send everything, will my SAT + SAT II situation look bad?</p>
<p>@GreyWolf: Gotcha. I’ve been told that you should send everything and that they will just take your highest. It’s obvious the 36 ACT is at the top. Plus by sending everything, the Math-II and Spanish scores will probably bump you up a bit, as well as your 2300. it’s ok if it’s from your 3rd test date, as I believe Penn’s website mentions they like applicants who take the SAT 3 or less times…3 being a good number still.</p>
