SAT Scores

<p>With one sitting, my highest is a 1990 (taken it once).</p>

<p>I took it this morning, but I don’t think I did better.</p>

<p>My score choiced one would be well above a 2000 though, maybe even a 2100.</p>

<p>If I use score choice, will UVA know?</p>

<p>Should I just send all of my scores or should I use score choice?</p>

<p>I’ll jump in on this to give Dean J a much deserved break from a repeat question :slight_smile: UVA will super score it for you. They want all the scores then they take the best of them. This one came up this year since the College Boards have yet another way of taking your cash. Since you are interested in going to UVA I would suggest you bookmark the UVA admissions site. Scroll down and you will see a “Dean J’s Admission Blog” option. It was invaluable for my daughter (and me!) when she applied this year (SEAS '14 as of yesterday!). It has all of your questions answered and more info on the college application process even if you don’t go to UVA. Good luck!</p>

<p>But would it be BAD not to send them all of my scores?</p>

<p>Because, to my knowledge, they would never know that I did score choice. I sent UVA my score for the last SAT (1990). And if I did score choice which would be above a 2100, they would know that I didn’t send them all of my scores…ehh I’m not too sure what I’ll do.</p>

<p>The SAT and Score Choice</p>

<p>I figured I’d make the title of this post very simple so it comes up in searches.</p>

<p>When we read your files, we are only interested in seeing your very best scores. We set up our system to pluck the best composite ACT score (we don’t recombine the sections) and the best of each section of the SAT (sometimes called super scoring). If you take the SAT more than once, we will only see your best score from each of the three sections.</p>

<p>I’m really not interested in anything but the best scores. Just send your reports through the official channels and the application system will make sure we see the highest scores.</p>
