SENIORS:
Please remember that Stuyvesant HS cannot sent ACT or SAT scores to colleges. Students must arrange to have test scores sent directly to the colleges to which they're applying from the appropriate testing agency. Students can do so by using their online accounts at either www.actstudent.org or www.collegeboard.org and following the related prompts within.
Please note that many colleges now accept self-reported scores and may not require official school reports until you eventually enroll in the spring. Check your college websites to see if you can rely on self -reporting for any of the colleges to which you’ll apply. However, several universities very popular with Stuy students including Carnegie Mellon University, Georgetown U., NYU, Princeton, SUNY Stony Brook, and SUNY Buffalo U. many others DO NOT ACCEPT SELF-REPORTED SCORES. If you are applying to any of these colleges you must have an official score report sent to each.
Know that sending scores online from ACT and CollegeBoard is a process that takes several weeks. To be safe, make sure to make your score send requests online well in advance of application deadlines!
***EA applicants to Stony Brook U must send their scores at least a few weeks in advance as SBU requires EA applicant scores to be processed by 11/1. Similarly, applicants to CUNY Macaulay Honors programs must send official test-scores to CUNY UAPC (code 2950) six to eight weeks in advance of their 11/15 deadline for the receipt of test-scores.***
Remember also that many colleges are test-optional; that means you can apply without scores. However, test -optional colleges will still consider scores if submitted; if you tested and your scores are within or above that college's mid-50% range for admitted students, you should still submit your scores.
