I'm applying to multiple Big 12 schools, and I'm curious which of them superscore the SAT. Specifically interested in Kansas State and TCU. Any insights?

Many Big 12 schools now superscore the SAT for college admissions, which means they'll take your highest section scores from different test dates to create your best possible composite score. Texas Christian University (TCU) does superscore the SAT, allowing you to submit multiple test dates and combining your highest Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score with your highest Math score to create your optimal total.
Kansas State University also superscores the SAT, taking your highest section scores across all test attempts. This policy can significantly benefit students who perform better in different sections on different test dates. When you apply to K-State, they'll automatically calculate your superscore using all valid SAT scores you submit.
For other Big 12 schools, most including Texas Tech, West Virginia University, and the University of Oklahoma also superscore the SAT. However, some institutions in the conference may have different testing policies, and several have recently become test-optional. It's worth noting that even at schools that superscore, you typically need to send all your SAT scores from each testing date, not just your highest sections.
When planning your college applications to Big 12 schools, you should submit all your SAT scores early in the application process. This ensures the admissions offices can calculate your superscore and consider your application with your best possible scores. Remember to check each school's specific testing requirements, as policies can change from year to year.
