<p>such as you take the highest score from each section of all the sittings… does ne1 have a list?</p>
<p>thanks</p>

<p>It save space assembling lists of schools that didn’t accept “superscores”.</p>
<p>Schools that don’t: UCs…there might be some more, but that’s all I know</p>
<p>What about the Ivys and Stanford and all those other good schools…</p>
<p>They all superscore it</p>

<p>What exactly is a superscore?</p>
<p>top scores from each section</p>
<p>I don’t know about you guys, but I call it a “composite” score, rather than “superscore” lol…</p>
<p>Using composite scores means that if you hypothetically got 800, 0, 0; 0, 800, 0; and 0, 0, 800; you would have a 2400 in the college’s eyes. Of course, this is an extreme case, and they will see your score breakdown for each test, but they will pretty much use your best combination.</p>
<p>0’s aren’t possible. ;)</p>
<p>rofl (10 char)</p>
<p>So it’s pretty much all the schools except UCs? Also, do they ever see the lower scores, or do those just get dropped (not considered?)?</p>
<p>^ yes sum1 answer this… sum other prestigious schools that do not allow superscoring?..</p>
<p>Important note is that this tends to only apply if you take the test 3 times or less. If it’s more, they usually won’t stack them.</p>
<p>But a thing to also note about the UC system is that they hardly care if you take SATs a good amount of times like many privates do.</p>
<p>

<p>Here’s a funny thing. I found out that in a lot of schools (including top ones), the only one who sees your entire score breakdown is the secretary that’s checking to make sure what you put on the application is correct. Meaning, if an application (such as Stanford’s or USC’s) only asks for your highest, then that’s all that the admissions people will see.</p>
<p>is this true? I’ve heard things like this too but I’ve never really confirmed it with anyone that has actually worked in the admissions office or an adcom…</p>
<p>I believe the elite colleges in general are anxious to “Superscore” in part so their admitted class SAT median numbers will look better - particularly when they have to include (to satisfy their cherished “diveristy” programs) a signficant amount of (invariably lower on an aggregate basis) URM scores </p>
<p>That said, they might judge an individual candidate more favorably that actually does 2 sets (math, read,write) high scores in a row - a bit more favorably</p>
<p>university of florida does not, or atleast there website said so.</p>
<p>do schools that superscore SAT scores do the same for ACT scores?</p>
