SAT Score-Use Practices by Participating Institution

Many colleges and universities allow you to use Score Choice to pick and choose which #SAT scores you want to send as part of your application. The College Board website explains: "With Score Choice, you can put your best foot forward by choosing which scores you send to colleges. Choose by test date for the SAT and by individual test for SAT Subject Tests — but keep in mind that some colleges and scholarship programs require you to send all your scores." On the other hand, some schools will take your best scores by section. Here's a complete list of policies. https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/professionals/sat-score-use-practices-participating-institutions.pdf. Please also note that the University of Pennsylvania recently changed its position on Score Choice, giving prospective students the option of sharing or hiding their standardized test scores.
