<p>More than a decade ago, when similar discussions arose, I usually responded by issuing a “challenge.” I asked people who “reported” the positions to share the name of the school and the admission officer and promised to follow up on it via email. To this date, nobody has ever responded. Here, it would be nice to know where cba practiced his or her skills! </p>
<p>Again, the issue is not what adcoms might say in private or even in those execrable “townhall” meetings, but what they do. Are we really to believe that they will look negatively on a superscored 2380 and positively on a 2050 obtained in one session? Does anyone get a brownie for NOT taking the SAT and reporting a score that is lower than one could obtain.</p>
<p>Further, the issue of schools such as Stanford who have rejected Score Choice and want to see all scores, is also pretty simple. They want to see a complete and accurate history, but do not look negatively on the repeated efforts. </p>
<p>Lastly, how many adcoms are there who actually see the entire scoring sheets as opposed to a reader file that only contains the superscores entered by technicians?</p>
<p>And, with the purported equality between the SAT and ACT, why would schools treat the tests differently and accept the de facto score choice possibility of the ACT and frown upon the SAT?</p>
