How many times do upper-tier colleges allow you to take the SAT's?

Question

At highly academic schools like Dartmouth, Northwestern, and Cornell, will the admissions committee look disfavorably upon students who have taken the SAT more than twice?

Answer 1

As usual, these answers are BS.

When you send the SAT scores to a college, they get all the scores you have taken. You don't get to pick.

But, most of the schools say that they want to know what the highest score you can get is. So they are going to look to see what your highest score in each test was....

The SAT or ACT is not the most important thing in your admission. The colleges mainly use it to confirm that your grades are real. If you had a A+ average and you continuously got low SATs then they would want to know why. But the thing that they REALLY dont like is if you got very high SAT scores and low grades. They take that to mean that you are lazy and not really applying yourself. They are not going to give one of their precious seats to someone who cant be bothered to work hard.

Answer 2

Other poster is right...you take it as many times as you can afford.

Then send in the highest score.

Many people take it once a year throughout highschool, just keep your report scores.

Answer 3

they dont know how many times you took it, all they get are the results that you send in.
