Yep, I'm pretty sure the only way to send out your test scores is through the collegeboard website, unless you send them out via your transcript, which would have to be done by your guidance/college counselor or whoever handles the transcripts at your high school.

First of all, breathe...Fall of Senior year is a stressful time but don't worry, you will survive! There is a light at the end of the tunnel :) You are doing totally fine--you've already applied! So the worst of it is over, now you just sit back, relax, and whatever happens happens. Just reread what you wrote: You have great grades, are very involved, and had a fulfilling high school career so regardless of what happens you are an awesome kid! Don't let yourself forget that. Okay so here is a statistic Brad gave on another thread

Here is the middle 50% of the fall 08 freshman class:
SAT: writing 520-610; critical reading 520-630; math 530-650; composition 1570-1890

Your scores are basically the same, and thats just the middle 50% so you've got no worries. Just keep up the good work and don't beat yourself up too badly :) You should do whatever you think is right, in regards to re-taking the tests, but don't feel like your scores are inadequate. Like you said, you've got a lot to offer and nobody is going to judge you based solely on your test scores

Definetly!! Don't let your worries about standardized testing hold you back from applying. Schools will look at you as an overall person--your grades, activities, and application essays--not just how well you do on your tests. Thats awesome that you are looking at schools in the US, have you studied abroad here??

Also, good job on the math. That was my worst section haha :)

Welcome Jessbear14!! Great questions.

Yes, it's true we love to give away money. :) 85% of our students receive some sort of financial aid. And here's some more info on the ACT scores from BUMegan:

"Our middle 50% is 24-29 on the ACT. Keep in mind, though, that we pull the best four sub-scores on the ACT and combine them for you to create a new composite score. Does that make sense? If you've ever heard the term "superscore" that's also another way to describe it. It can actually help to take the test more than once, because your overall score MIGHT increase!

Also remember too, that Butler requires the writing score at least ONCE of all the times you've taken the test."

Here's the whole profile:

2008 Freshmen Class Profile (Middle 50%)
GPA (on a 4.0 scale): 3.42 - 4.0
SAT: writing 520-610; critical reading 520-630; math 530-650; composition 1570-1890
ACT: 24-29
48% in the top 10% of their graduating class
