AdmissionsBoston UniversityBoston University will allow students to choose [the College Board's Score Choice]; however, we strongly recommend students submit their scores each time they take the SAT. BU has always considered a student’s highest SAT section scores in making admissions decisions and will continue to do so.BU AdmissionsBrownWe automatically focus on your highest test scores and therefore Score Choice is a bit redundant.Brown AdmissionsColumbiaApplicants may select the Score Choice option for the SAT ... When evaluating applicants, we consider the highest testing results reported from individual sections of the SAT ... We are always seeking to give students the greatest opportunity to showcase their academic talents and hoping to make the testing experience as stress-free as possible. We encourage applicants to take these examinations no more than twice, but we do not penalize applicants for exceeding that recommendation.Columbia AdmissionsDukeStudents who have taken multiple tests may choose which scores to send to Duke. For students who elect to send multiple test scores Duke will use whichever score is highest.Duke AdmissionsGeorgetownGeorgetown University does not participate in the Score Choice option available through the College Board. Georgetown requires that you submit scores from all test sittings of the SAT ... If an applicant takes the SAT more than once, the admissions committees will consider the highest critical reading score and the highest math score from multiple test sessions when reviewing the application.Georgetown AdmissionsGeorgia Institute of TechnologyWe super score within the same test, using your highest section scores from any test date. Each time you submit new scores to us, we will update your record with your highest scores. We evaluate all your sub-section scores, not just the sum or composite.Georgia Tech AdmissionsHarvardYou are free to use the College Board Score Choice option.Harvard AdmissionsJohns HopkinsWe'll considers your highest section scores across all SATs taken—even if they were on different test dates—in our evaluation of your application. We therefore encourage you to update your application with new test scores each time you take the SATs.Hopkins AdmissionsMITIf you take [the SAT] multiple times, we will consider the highest score achieved in each section. This superscoring also applies to students who submit scores from both the "old" and "new" SAT. We do this in order to consider all applicants in their best light. Students are free to use the College Board's Score Choice option ... to submit the scores of your choice as well.MIT AdmissionsNew York UniversityIf you’ve taken the SAT more than once, you can select which results you want to send to us using Score Choice. We will review the highest SAT scores you submit, regardless of test dates. This practice is commonly known as the “superscore.” If you submit scores from the old and new versions of the SAT, however, we will not create a new “superscore” as the old SAT is a different test from the new SAT.NYU AdmissionsNotre DameIf you submit multiple SAT scores, we will superscore the tests for our evaluation. This means we will use your highest individual SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math sub-scores from multiple testing dates to compute your composite score.Notre Dame AdmissionsPrincetonWe allow applicants to use the score choice feature of ... the SAT ... but we encourage the submission of all test scores.Princeton AdmissionsStanfordStanford is an "all scores" school, which means you must report all scores from all high school sittings of [the SAT] ... For the SAT, we will focus on the highest individual Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, Math, and Essay scores from all test sittings. For SAT exams taken prior to March 2016, we will focus on the highest Critical Reading, Math and Writing scores. Because we are not able to superscore across the two exams, we will superscore results within the old and new SAT exams separately.Stanford AdmissionsUniversity of ChicagoWe recommend you send us all of your test scores. Only your best testing results (highest sub-scores AND/OR best result of the 2 testing options—SAT vs ACT) will be included/used in your admission review. Lower testing will not be included in your final/official application so it cannot count against you.U Chicago AdmissionsUniversity of ConnecticutWe will combine the highest scores from each subsection of an exam to create the best overall score (within same exam formats) for exams taken more than once.U Conn AdmissionsUniversity of MiamiIf you take the test more than once, please ensure that the testing agency sends all of your scores so that we have your best performance on record.

We will use the highest composite score from among each test that you’ve taken.U Miami AdmissionsUniversity of North CarolinaIf you send us scores from multiple test dates, we’ll take your highest score for each section of the test and consider those scores as we evaluate your application. If you send us both an SAT and an ACT, we’ll look at whichever is higher.UNC AdmissionsUniversity of Southern CaliforniaFor students who take the SAT more than once, USC records the highest scores for each section—even if achieved in different sittings—but will not combine section scores from the old SAT (prior to March 2016) and the redesigned SAT.USC AdmissionsUniversity of VirginiaIt has been the Office of Admission’s long-standing policy to consider the best test scores submitted by applicants. When reviewing SAT scores, we use the top score from each section across all administrations of the exam. Scores from the previous version of the SAT and the current SAT will not be combined ... We hope you will submit all of your scores knowing that we will recombine the sections to get the best possible set of scores.UVA AdmissionsVanderbiltVanderbilt strongly encourages students to submit scores each time they take the SAT. Vanderbilt will super-score among Old SAT tests and among New SAT tests, but will not super-score between the Old SAT and the New SAT.

For example, the Committee could consider your SAT Math and ACT English subscores when reviewing his/her application.Virginia Tech AdmissionsYaleWhen assessing SAT results, admissions officers will focus on your highest individual old or new scores from all test dates. For example, if you took the old SAT twice, your highest Critical Reading, Math and Writing scores will be considered individually. If you took the new SAT twice, your highest Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, Math and Essay scores will be considered individually. If you took both types of SAT, the admissions office will treat them separately and review the best scores on each test.Yale…SORRY FOR SUCH A LONG LISTREGARDS

Dr. J. Marion Sims (1813–1883) (J. Marion Sims - Wikipedia)Thanks Sean. I apologize for the length, but it is necessary to illustrate how someone so celebrated in the press and medical community became reviled.Dr. James Marion Sims, a pioneering American gynecologist, is often credited with establishing the country’s first women’s hospital in Manhattan in 1855[1] — but in fact the Woman’s Hospital in the State of New York was not the first institution he opened. In 1844, Sims had his slaves build a women’s hospital in Mt. Meigs, Alabama, expressly for experimenting on enslaved women who suffered from a common gynecological condition caused from childbirth injuries.[2]Vesicovaginal fistula was a catastrophic complication of childbirth among 19th century American women.[3]Sims’ surgical work in Alabama — performed with the assistance of other enslaved patients, whom he trained as nurses — helped to launch his career as one of the country’s most famous gynecologists. Celebrated as the “father of modern gynocology”[4] , his name appeared in the press and in medical textbooks, and his likeness was memorialized in statues throughtout the eastern seabord and south. He stands as the first person to successfully perform gallbladder surgery,[5] and he developed a groundbreaking technique to treat women with vesicovaginal fistula. He invented the modern speculum,[6] and the Sim's position for vaginal exams, both of which he tested on his female slaves.[7]Yet, despite the popularity and notoriety, that Sims attracted, there were a small group of contemporary detractors who questioned the doctor's methodology and ethics. Drowned out by the praise of thousands of upper and middle class Caucasian women whose lives and reproduction systems were saved by Sims’ techniques[8] , critics would not find a willing audience for their concerns for over a hundred years. From the late 1970s onwards, numerous modern authors have criticised and attacked Sims's medical ethics, arguing that he manipulated the institution of slavery to perform ethically unacceptable human experiments on powerless, unconsenting women.Marion Sims (called Marion) was born in Lancaster County, South Carolina, ,the son of John and Mahala (Mackey) Sims.[9] For his first 12 years, Sims's family lived in Lancaster Village north of Hanging Rock Creek, where his father owned a store. Sims later wrote of his early school days there.[10] After his father was elected as sheriff of Lancaster County in 1825, Sims was enrolled the newly established Franklin Academy, in Lancaster (for white boys only).[11]In 1832, after two years of study at the predecessor of the University of South Carolina, South Carolina College, where he was a member of the Euphradian Society,[12] After interning with Dr. Churchill Jones in Lancaster and completing a three-month course at the Medical College of Charleston (predecessor of the Medical University of South Carolina)[13], Sims moved to Philadelphia in 1834, enrolling in Jefferson Medical College, where he graduated in 1835, "a lackluster student who showed little ambition after receiving his medical degree".[14]As he put it,"I felt no particular interest in my profession at the beginning of it apart from making a living.... I was really ready at any time and at any moment to take up anything that offered, or that held out any inducement of fortune, because I knew that I could never make a fortune out of the practice of medicine."[15]Sims returned to Lancaster to practice. After his first two patients died, Sims left and set up a practice in Mount Meigs, near Montgomery, Alabama. He described the settlement in a letter to his future wife Theresa Jones as "nothing but a pile of gin-houses, stables, blacksmith-shops, grog-shops, taverns and stores, thrown together in one promiscuous huddle".[16]J. Marion Sims | Encyclopedia of AlabamaIn.December 1836, he married Theresa, also from Lancaster and the daughter of the wealthy widow of a local doctor, with whom he had nine children.[17] In 1840 the couple moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where they lived until 1853. In 1841, after suffering bouts of malaria and intestinal disorders, he moved his practice into Montgomery, trading in his pony for a four-wheeled cart with a horse and driver.[18] There Sims had what he described as the "most memorable time" of his career.[19] Within a few years he "had the largest surgical practice in the State", the largest practice that any doctor in Montgomery had ever had, up to that time, and was considered immensely popular, and greatly beloved."[20] The family owned 17 slaves, a house, and a building for treating 8 patients.It was in Montgomery that Sims established his reputation among rich, white plantation owners by treating their human property.[21] Sims’s practice was deeply rooted in the slave trade, building an eight-person hospital in the heart of the slave-trading district in Montgomery.[22] While most healthcare took place on the plantations, some stubborn cases were brought to physicians like Sims who patched up slaves so they could produce—and reproduce—for their masters again.[23] Otherwise, they were useless to their owners.Soon after, he developed a precursor to the modern speculum using a pewter spoon and strategically placed mirrors.[24] From 1845 to 1849, Sims started doing experiments on enslaved women to treat vaginal problems. He developed techniques that form the basis of modern vaginal surgery. A key component was silver wire, which he had a jeweler prepare.[25] The Sims vaginal speculum aided in vaginal examination and surgery.Sims' position - WikipediaWhen a woman came to him with an injured pelvis and retroverted uterus from a fall from a horse, he placed the patient on the left side with the right knee flexed against the abdomen and the left knee slightly flexed,.[26] Inserting his finger into the vagina triggered a full distention of the vagina with air. The distention inspired him to investigate fistula treatment.In Montgomery, between 1845 and 1849, Sims conducted experimental surgery on 12 enslaved women with fistulas in his backyard hospital. They were brought to him by their owners. Sims asked for patients with this fistula, and succeeded in finding six or seven women.[27]“I made this proposition to the owners of the negroes: If you will give me Anarcha and Betsey for experiment, I agree to perform no experiment or operation on either of them to endanger their lives, and will not charge a cent for keeping them, but you must pay their taxes and clothe them. I will keep them at my own expense.”[28]Sims took responsibility for their care on the condition that the owners provide clothing and pay any taxes; Sims provided food. One woman, Lucy, he purchased "expressly for the purpose of experimentation when her master resisted Sims' solicitations."[29]Sims referenced three enslaved women in his records: Anarcha, Betsy, and Lucy; many others remain unidentified. Each suffered from fistula, and all were subjects of his surgical experimentation.[30] From 1845 to 1849 he conducted experimental surgery on each of them several times.[31] Sims performed these fistula repair operations without benefit of anesthesia but gave these women substantial doses of opium afterwards.[32] It has been alleged that Sims did this in order to addict them to the drug and thereby to enhance his control over them.Seventeen-year old Anarcha Westcott had a severe form of rickets caused by a lack of vitamin D and malnutrition , which had disfigured her pelvis, making it impossible for her to give birth.[33] She went into labor during June 1845 and after trying to give birth for three days, Sims showed up to assist her in her labor. The use of “forceps” was common in those days, but Sims had never used them before, and, according to one historian, Sims tried it repeatedly on other slave women.[34] Each of these attempts, however, resulted in an infant fatality. Sims blamed all of these deaths not on his own use of the forceps, but the slave mother’s inherent stupidity.[35]Remembering Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey: The Mothers of Modern GynecologyAnarcha had both vesicovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas, which Sims struggled to repair. operating on the young woman thirty times.[36] She was isolated from other slaves, separated from her infant and under the complete supervision of Sims.Notwithstanding repeated failures during four years' time, he kept his six patients and operated until he tired out his doctor assistants, and finally had to rely upon his patients to assist him to operate.[37] Unlike his previous essays, which included at least a brief description of his patients, the article issued in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences is devoid of any identifying characteristics of Anarcha, Betsy, and Lucy.[38]Years after Sims claimed to have cured Anarcha's fistula, Anarcha traveled to Sims’ New York Woman’s Hospital to be operated on again by him. Anarcha actually had a double fistula when she first was sent to Sims—a rupture in the lining between vagina and urethra and between vagina and rectum. She was probably never really fully cured. While a decade later she was living in Virginia as a midwife, “she [appeared] to be living at a separate house from the main house.” While it’s unclear whether it was due to separate quarters for people enslaved generally or stigma, her separation could be explained as “what you would expect from a woman with an ongoing fistula condition.”[39]Although anethesia had very recently become available, Sims did not use any anesthetic during his procedures on these three women. According to Sims, anesthesia was not yet fully accepted into surgical practice, and he was unaware of the use of diethyl ether. [40] Ether as an anesthetic was available as early as the beginning of 1842, but not publicly demonstrated until 1846, a year after Sims began his experimental surgery.[41] While ether's use as an anesthetic spread rapidly, it was not universally accepted at the time of Sims' experimental surgery.In addition, a common belief at the time was that black people did not feel as much pain as white people. One patient, named Lucy, nearly died from sepsis. He had operated on her without anesthetics in the presence of twelve doctors, following the experimental use of a sponge to wipe urine from the bladder during the procedure.[42] She contracted sepsis because he left this sponge in her urethra and bladder. He did administer opium to the women after their surgery, which was accepted therapeutic practice of the day.[43]Dr. J. Marion Sims in Montgomery, Alabama (J. Marion Sims | Encyclopedia of Alabama)Sims moved to New York in 1853 because of his health and was determined to focus on diseases of women. He had an office at 267 Madison Avenue.[44] In 1855 he founded Woman's Hospital, the first hospital for women in the United States. His project met with "universal opposition" from the New York medical community; it was due to prominent women that he established it.They were visited by "prominent doctors, who endeavored to convince them that they were making a mistake, that they had been deceived, that no such hospital was needed, etc. I was called a quack.and a humbug, and the hospital was pronounced a fraud. Still it went on with its work."[45]In the Woman's Hospital, he performed operations on indigent women, often in an operating theatre so that medical students and other doctors could view his procedures as it was considered fundamental to medical education at the time.[46] Patients remained in the hospital indefinitely and underwent repeated procedures.At the onset of the Civil War in 1861, Sims left the United States and settled in Paris. He became internationally famous after ministering to European royalty, including the empress of Austria.[47] After the end of the Civil War, he returned to the United States until his death.In 1871, Sims returned to New York. He got into a conflict with the other doctors of the Woman's Hospital, with whom he carried on a dialogue by means of published pamphlets.[48] One issue was whether the hospital would treat women with uterine cancer, because the hospital was founded to treat diseases of women, and cancer was not a disease peculiar to women.[49] In addition, cancer was feared as contagious.[50] The second issue was how many outsiders (doctors or medical students) could observe any given operation, as was common at the time.[51] This meant they could observe the sexual organs of white women patients; there were no African-American patients.After a conflict with the hospital administration, Sims resigned from the Woman's Hospital of New York State in 1874[52] and maintained a successful private practice. In 1876, he was named president of the American Medical Association.[53]Women’s Hospital New York – Ephemeral New YorkIn 1880, Sims contracted a severe case of typhoid fever. Although Sims suffered delirium, he was "constantly contriving instruments and conducting operations".[54] After several months and a move to Charleston South Carolina to aid his convalescence, Sims appeared healthy by.June 1881.[55]After travelling briefly to France, Sims began to complain of an increase in heart problems. He had previously suffered two angina attacks in 1877. Sims was positive that he had a serious disease of the heart, resulting in a deep mental depression.[56] Halfway through writing his autobiography and planning a return visit to Europe, Sims died of a heart attack on November 13, 1883 in Manhattan, New York City.[57] After Sims’ death in 1883, the Mt. Meigs hospital continued to serve the local African-American population.[58]That Sims achieved all this has long won him acclaim; how he achieved all this—by experimenting on enslaved women—started being included in his story much more recently. And on a Tuesday morning in April 2018, in the face of growing controversy, New York City removed a statue honoring him from Central Park.[59]J. Marion SimsThe move came after decades of concerted effort by historians, scholars, and activists to reexamine Sims’s legacy. Sims’ critics have discounted the enormous suffering experienced by fistula victims, have ignored the controversies that surrounded the introduction of anaesthesia into surgical practice in the middle of the 19th century[60], and have consistently misrepresented the historical record in their attacks on Sims. Although enslaved African American women certainly represented a “vulnerable population” in the 19th century American South, the evidence suggests that Sims's original patients were willing participants in his surgical attempts to cure their affliction—a condition for which no other viable therapy existed at that time.[61]Sims’s defenders say the Southern-born slaveholder was simply a man of his time for whom the end justified the means—and that enslaved women with fistulas were likely to have wanted the treatment badly enough that they would have agreed to take part in his experiments.[62] But history hasn’t recorded their voices, and consent from their owners, who had a strong financial interest in their recovery, was the only legal requirement of the time.Critics say Sims cared more about the experiments than in providing therapeutic treatment, and that he caused untold suffering by operating under the racist notion that black people did not feel pain.[63] They say his use of enslaved black bodies as medical test subjects falls into a long, ethically bereft history of medical apartheid that includes the Tuskegee syphilis experiment[64] and Henrietta Lacks.[65]The first serious challenge to Sims’s lionization came in a 1976 book by the historian G.J. Barker-Benfield titled The Horrors of the Half-Known.Barker-Benfield juxtaposed Sims’s “extremely active, adventurous policy of surgical interference with woman’s sexual organs” with his considerable ambition and self-interest. The man who once admitted “if there was anything I hated, it was investigating the organs of the female pelvis,” took to gynecology with a “monomania” once he realized it was his ticket to fame and fortune.[66]In response, during the 1978 annual meeting of the American Gynecological Society, doctors took turns vigorously defending Sims against Barker-Benfield’s book. The most fervent of them was Lawrence I. Hester Jr., who said, “I rise not to reappraise J. Marion Sims, but to praise him.”[67] He then announced that his institution, the Medical University of South Carolina, which Sims also attended, was raising $750,000 for an endowed chair named after J. Marion Sims.[68]The Secret History of the SpeculumAnother physician, Irwin Kaiser asked the audience to consider how Sims ultimately helped the enslaved women he experimented upon. The surgery that he practiced on Lucy, Anarcha, Betsey, and the other enslaved women was to repair a vesicovaginal fistula—a devastating complication of prolonged labor. When a baby’s head presses for too long in the birth canal, tissue can die from lack of blood, forming a hole between the vagina and the bladder.[69] The condition can be embarrassing, as women with it are unable to control urination. “Women with fistulas became social outcasts,” said Kaiser. “In the long run, they had reasons to be grateful that Sims had cured them of urinary leakage.” He concluded that Sims was “a product of his era.”[70]This did not quell criticisms, of course. Over the next few decades, scholars continued to criticize Sim's practice of experimenting on enslaved women.[71] Medical textbooks, however, were slow to mention the controversy over Sims’s legacy. A 2011 study found that they continued to celebrate Sims’s achievement, often uncritically. In contrast to the vigorous debate of Sims’s legacy in historical texts and even in the popular press, medical textbooks and journals have largely remained static in their portrayal of Sims as surgical innovator.[72]In recent years, one of the most prominent defenders of Sims’s legacy has been Lewis Wall, a surgeon and an anthropologist at Washington University in St. Louis.[73] Wall has traveled to Africa to perform the vesicovaginal fistula surgery that Sims pioneered[74] , and he has seen firsthand what a difference it makes in women’s lives.“Sims’s modern critics have discounted the enormous suffering experienced by fistula victims,” he wrote in a 2006 paper. “The evidence suggests that Sims’s original patients were willing participants in his surgical attempts to cure their affliction—a condition for which no other viable therapy existed at that time.”[75]Wall also defended Sims on the charge that he refused to give anesthesia only to black patients.[76] Anesthesia was not yet widespread in 1845, and physicians who trained without anesthesia sometimes preferred their patients to be awake.There is debate over whether Sims’s specific surgical practices were unusually gruesome for his time. But his practice of operating on enslaved women was certainly not unusual. He wrote about it openly. It is this ordinariness that is noteworthy.Should women be standing alongside the 'father' of modern gynecology?Sims did not induce illness into his subjects, nor is there any evidence that he intentionally inflicted pain or even contemplated the loss of a life in order to find a solution to the problem. On the contrary, there is every indication that his attempts were purely to find a cure for a most debilitating malady and is well documented that all of his slave patients recovered, and we can assume lived better lives because of the surgery.[77] There are no reports of fatalities among Sims participants and it is widely acknowledged that his work aided tens of thousands of females, both black and white.[78]Sims was able to advance so quickly, because he had access to bodies—first enslaved women in the south, and later also poor Irish women when he moved to New York..[79] These institutions that existed in this country, which allowed easy access to enslaved and impoverished women’s bodies, allowed certain branches of professional medicine to advance and grow and to also become legitimate. The history of medicine has often been written as the history of great men, rather then their forgotten female patients.In 2006, the University of Alabama at Birmingham removed a painting that depicted Sims as one of the “Medical Giants of Alabama.”[80] In February, the Medical University of South Carolina quietly renamed the endowed chair honoring J. Marion Sims—the one announced by Hester after the publication of The Horrors of the Half-Known.[81] The minutes of the board of trustees meeting where it happened did not even mention Sims’s name—just the new name of the endowed chair. The decision was made in recognition of the controversial and polarizing nature of this historical figure despite his contributions to the medical field.[82]A worker removes the 19th-century statue of J. Marion Sims from New York's Central Park (Controversial statue of J. Marion Sims removed from Central Park)A bust of Sims on display at his alma mater, Thomas Jefferson University, was abruptly removed without explanation and placed in storage.[83] The J. Marion Sims statue that stood in Central Park is being relocated to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, where Sims is buried.[84] Eventually, the statue will be demoted to a lower pedestal and displayed with a sign explaining the statue’s history. There may be an opportunity, now, to use the statue to tell the full story—to tell the stories of Lucy, Anarcha, Betsey, and the other enslaved women, who were the unknown “Mothers of Modern Gynocology”, assuring their place in the history of medicine.Footnotes[1] Women’s Hospital New York – Ephemeral New York[2] J.
