<p>Can everyone tell me what colleges they were accepted to with ONLY submitting their ACT score?</p>
<p>my sister got into Brown, Duke, and GW…waitlisted by Yale</p>
<p>Most universities readily accept the ACT if a standardized test score is required.</p>
<p>I know, but everyone keeps telling me if you submit the ACT you most likely need to submit the SAT. I just want to see if I can get by with submitting the ACT ONLY!</p>
<p>I’ve seen it happen with Harvard like…once.</p>
<p>REALLY consider sending SAT.</p>
<p>There really is not that much difference between the ACT and the SAT.</p>
<p>I don’t want to turn this into some big argument, but just send your higher score.</p>
<p>I find it useless to post my acceptances gained from only submitting my ACT score. But I got into the school corresponding to my location, as well as a few other top 20 schools with only an ACT score. (I did take SAT IIs and AP though, so maybe take that into account). </p>
<p>egbert souse- clearly you are exaggerating. However, even if a minority of people that get into Harvard only took the ACT, it is because most of the applicants to Harvard (and thus most of the acceptees) will have taken the SAT or both tests. The only places where you are likely to find a lot of only ACTers is the midwest, where Harvard doesn’t draw a large applicant group from. Correlation? Possibly. Causation? Definitely not.</p>
<p>Gamma which schools on the east coast?</p>
<p>i’m planning on applying with ACT only
No SAT I’s(didn’t take any)
No SAT II’s (didn’t take any and don’t need it)</p>
<p>my 34 should be just fine i think</p>
<p>My friend’s D got into Stanford with ACT only. I noticed a few kids posting in the Yale and Princeton forums who got in with ACT only during this last round. There was some interesting discussion about whether they were hurt or helped by sending in their SAT II as well as ACT scores. A couple of them got in to Ivies/Stanford where they didn’t send subject test scores, but were rejected where they sent them. (A sample of 3-4 people, though, so don’t draw too many conclusions!).</p>
<p>I think I am just going to take both test and if I bomb the SAT(I will), then at least I know that I tried. Thanks guys for all the help. :)</p>
<p>A friend of mine got into Columbia ED and only submitted her ACT score and three SAT IIs.</p>
<p>doesn’t columbia require SAT IIs regardless if you take SAT I or ACT??</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure i read this on their website…haha, but columbia may be one of the few colleges that require this</p>
<p>I know people who got into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, and Brown with only the ACT. Mind you, some of them took subject tests, but not the SATI.</p>
<p>I’ve taken both but I am only sending my ACT. SAT2’s are recommended where I am applying but there is no real need to because at Wash U I have a 34 superscored and Cornell shouldn’t be bad for me.</p>
<p>My son was home schooled K-12 and applied to Yale as a favor to me. I am not a professional educator and I remember thinking that admission to a school like Yale would somehow validate my home schooling social experiment, which I undertook despite the consternation of extended family and friends. He was admitted and the only test scores he submitted were from the ACT – he never took SAT I or SAT II or AP tests. Of course he never wanted to attend Yale and instead attends the only other school to which he applied, a small public college that most people have never heard of. So yes, admission to Yale is possible by only submitting ACT scores, but I have no idea whether it is common.</p>
<p>I was told by a girl from Berkeley that most ivies don’t accept people with ACT. SAT is more favorable. WHY?? It’s besically the same test.
does anyone have any comments on that?:)</p>
<p>I got into Northwestern, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, and Duke with only my ACT. I know it’s not HYPSM or anything but still up there. Hope it helps :)</p>
<p>THANKS senior09!:)</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your responses! Anyone else want to continue?</p>
