SAT - Show only the highest score

10cc-nb-thumb1

A new  College Board policy allows the students to submit to the admission offices  only their highest score. This policy will start operating with the class of 2010.

Presently Colleges receive scores of all the attempts made by a student.

“Students were telling us the ability to have more control over their scores would make the test experience more comfortable and less stressful,” said Laurence Bunin, senior vice president of the SAT. “. . . We can do that without in any way diminishing the value and integrity of the SAT.”

The College Board, made the changes in order to compete with their rival ACT. The new SAT scoring option mimics the ACT’s long-standing policy.

But some high school counselors and college admissions officials voiced concern Friday that the new rules would most help affluent students whose parents can pay for multiple SAT attempts, at $45 a sitting, as well as pricey coaching. Previously, admissions officials would know if a student took the test four, five, even six times and might be suspicious about the role of tutoring in any improved scores.

  • Fellows will receive full financial support for the two-year Stanford MBA Program and all fees associated with applying and attending. 
  • Reliance and Stanford are dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders in India who are committed to the country’s human and socio-economic progress.
  • Within two years of completing their Stanford MBA studies, Reliance Dhirubhai Fellows will return to India for a period of at least two years employment in the public or private sector.
