Superscore vs. “One and Done”

The applicant spending additional funds and time for multiple test sittings tells you something about that person.

In that case, shouldn't they give a greater weight to "one and done" score from August 2024 than "one and done" score from August 2025?

You are making this up. It's simply not true.

Colleges that superscore will see the superscore in Slate.

Said should give far greater weight to a "one and done" applicant.

I feel your pain.
How many top 20 schools did your DC apply?

Yep. Because everyone knows an Aug 2025 kid applying for 2026 took the test more than once, probably many times-regardless of what they report.


And no, they don't care.

-Superscored 1530 admitted to 4 top20 schools.

I’m sorry. Hope your kid is doing well and settled? Curious about major and type of HS?

Not even UC Berkeley and UCLA? Hard to believe. Troll.

They don't care about one-and-done, at least for SAT. ACT is different.

There is zero way for a school to see that you are “one and done” unless they require all scores.

You could have taken it 5 times and only report the score from the sitting with the best results.

This just isn’t a big deal. At all.

Impossible to know what happened here without GPA, AP # and ECs.

Fact that didn't get in UCs indicates there is a huge red flag other than test score.

And my TO kid (private HS), 3.84uw got into 4 T20.

It’s not only about one thing. Forget that at your peril.

Be interesting. Have a passion. Tell your story powerfully and in a way that’s moving.

Really? I thought other T20s love TO kids and 1500 and below kids? That leaves UCs to high scorers?

Why don’t you look up average SAT scores for the UCs.
