Colleges that require all attempts and scores for ACT/SAT/AP

You can cancel your ACT scores, after you receive them.

No, Penn does not require applicants to report all scores.

(Only Georgetown does.)

Johns Hopkins appears to now require applicants to submit *all* SAT/ACT scores. Here is their statement on this, copied from https://apply.jhu.edu/how-to-apply/application-deadlines-requirements/standardized-testing:

"You should report all available scores, and we’ll consider your most competitive testing profile when reviewing your application."

Or am I mistaken?

The wording is ambiguous, because later on the same webpage, it is stated that:

"When it comes to evaluating testing, we superscore, meaning if you take the SAT or ACT more than once and submit multiple scores, we consider your highest section scores across all test dates"

How should I reconcile these seemingly contradictory statements?

I think MIT only requires all AP scores

I think it means they want you to submit all scores, not to screen out people who took the exam more than once, but to ensure you’re super-scoring in the most advantageous way possible.

MIT doesnt require all AP scores. My nephew got a 2 in AP Calculus (forget which one), didn't report, is at MIT.

Maybe MIT changed the rules. My kid applied in 21-22 and all AP scores were required.

It still does. Frankly doubt your “nephew” is at MIT.

That was coming out of the pandemic, when everyone’s experience had been crazy (like, were APs even administered in May 2020? May 2021?) so they might have decided that for that cohort of kids they wanted all possible testing data.

How do they know? If you aren’t superscoring and using only one sitting, how will they know if you send the scores for that one date?

Generally curious because it seems odd.

^ yeah if you have a single sitting that is your highest - just send that test date

Still the case. Their site currently says “ Students should self-report scores from all exams taken, and MIT will consider the super-score in our review process.”

It’s pretty clear they want all scores.

This. You can cancel a low score after receiving it, and it won’t be on your report. Not sure about SAT.
