Colleges that don't superscore?

Hey everyone, I know that many colleges superscore, but are there any that don't? If so, can someone provide a list of those schools? I'm trying to figure out my options and whether or not retaking my standardized tests would be worth it. Thanks!

Hey there! You're right that many colleges do superscore, but there are indeed some that don't. While I can't provide an exhaustive list of all colleges that don't superscore, I can mention a few examples to give you an idea of the variety.

1. University of California system: They consider the highest sitting for the SAT, but do not superscore between different test dates.

2. Texas A&M University: TAMU requires you to submit all scores, and they will review the scores from each test date without superscoring.

3. University of Illinois: They typically consider the highest score from a single test date.

Keep in mind that policies can change, so it's advisable to double-check the standardized testing policies on the individual college websites for the most up-to-date information.

As for whether retaking your standardized tests would be worth it, that would depend on your target colleges and how your current scores compare to those of admitted students. Additionally, many colleges have gone test-optional in recent years, which means that submitting test scores is no longer required.

If your scores aren't as strong as you'd like them to be, you can consider focusing on other aspects of your application, such as essays and extracurriculars. Remember that each college has its unique admissions criteria, so perform thorough research when building your college list. Good luck with your applications!
