Do SAT or ACT test scores have to be sent directly from the testing agency, and how important are test scores in the application review?
While most students request for their scores to be sent to Western at the time they register for the test, you can also have your high school send them with your transcript. To be received on time, you should take the test at least six weeks before the application deadline. Since Western only uses your highest scores, you don’t need to worry about “screening” your scores before you have them sent. We want your application to be as strong as it can be, so we don’t even look at weaker scores if you take the test more than once. And, no, we do not prefer one test over the other. Finally, test scores are not nearly as important in the application review as most students may think. Your academic record and what you have accomplished in and out of the classroom are much more helpful in the application review. Testing agency contact information can be found at: • Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT I) • College Board/SAT, Box 6201, Princeton, NJ 08541-6201 • Phone 609.771.7600 — TDD 609.882.4118
