SAT II Subject Tests - Send all??

Hi,

I’ve realized that some colleges don’t allow Score Choice for SAT, so I have to send them all the tests I’ve taken. However, when I select the scores on Collegeboard, I can deselect Subject Tests that I don’t want to be sent.

For example, I have 2 that I want to send: 800 and 750.
and 3 that I don’t want to send (2 of which I am retaking this Saturday and sending).

If I only report the 800 and 750, and the 2 I am taking this Saturday on my Common App, then send only those 4 scores, would these non-Score Choice colleges know that I omitted some? Would they care? If I did send all scores, would it count against me that I took 7 tests, 3 of which I did pretty badly?? (720 700 and 700) but retook…

Thanks!

BTW, some of my top choice schools are Stanford and Yale, which require all scores to be sent.
