Cornell will not be participating in a new College Board initiative, which would allow high school students to select which SAT scores get sent along with their application. In doing so, the University maintains its current policy in which all applicants must submit all their SAT scores along with their application.
The College Board initiative, called Score Choice, is set to begin with the tests administered in March 2009. The first affected class will be the college class of 2014. Under Score Choice, students will be able to select the scores they wish to send to colleges by test. The policy applies to both the SAT Subject Tests and the SAT, although students will not be able to send separate scores for the critical reading, writing and mathematics sections.
