<p>2300 SAT: 800 Critical Reading, 700 Math, 800 Writing (8/12 on the essay)</p>
<p>35 ACT: 35 English, 34 Math, 36 Reading, 36 Science (8/12 on the essay - 31 combined English/Writing)</p>
<p>Which is better/more impressive, or should I send both?</p>
<p>Chem - 720
US History - 760</p>
<p>I’ve heard some schools accept the ACT instead of SAT + SAT 2’s.</p>
<p>Definitely send both. Will only help you.</p>
<p>Send both if you’re willing to spend more money for score reports. If you only want to send one of them, I think you should pick the ACT. Just because it’s 1 point away from full score rather than 100 points, even thought a 2300 and a 35 are about the same.</p>

<p>I’m kinda just saying this from some other thing I saw, but I think a 35 ACT~2340 SAT so you should send the ACT score</p>
<p>Your SAT is equivalent to a 34.</p>
<p>I’d send the ACT to everyone, then send the SAT as well to selective colleges.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the responses.</p>
<p>On a different note, for a school like MIT, where my SAT Math score is slightly weak, should I retake the SAT to superscore better?</p>
<p>Would it be detrimental if I faired slightly worse overall, but improved my math?</p>
<p>Would it make significant enough a difference to matter?</p>
<p>Per the standard normal distribution:</p>
<p>36 = 2400 (800)
35 = 2340 (780)
34 = 2280 (760)
33 = 2220 (740)</p>
<p>And so on.</p>
<p>Just send the ACT, and don’t retake the SAT.</p>
