<p>ooh it’s the pretty much the same.</p>

<p>but aesthetically speaking…which is better? :slight_smile: </p>

<p>if you could only choose one to send, which would it be??</p>

<p>Both?
10 char</p>

<p>Hmmm any more thoughts?</p>

<p>They’re kind of the same. But on your score report, check your percentiles, because that will tell you which is better.</p>

<p>According to this, your ACT score is a little higher but I would submit both. They are both good scores! :)</p>

<p>It depends on the school you’re applying to. Do some research and see if they prefer SAT or ACT. Most schools I know of like the SATs better.</p>

<p>Also, a 35 in Reading on the ACT probably looks better than a 700 in CR on the SAT.</p>

<p>I would just submit both; It shows colleges what subjects you really excel in and another good test score never hurts…</p>

<p>On that last chart it indicates that my range could be 1330-1350/1600 so with my writing it could be 2010 instead of 1970?so I guess ACT then?<br>
But do you think I look weak in math & science?especially if that’s what I’m pursuing?</p>

<p>Am I over-thinking this? :]</p>

<p>I would just submit both as the 35 in writing is a fantastic score but most colleges seem to prefer the SAT.</p>

<p>I think you’re overthinking it… :P</p>

<p>Feel free to suggest any schools? Haha just curious to see if I’m blatantly missing any obvious ones.
Or ignore that Q all together. :p</p>

<p>Well, what colleges are you looking at?</p>

<p>Wake forest
Georgetown
Boston college
Emory
Chapel Hill
UVA
Notre Dame
Vassar
Vanderbilt
Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>…are they all reaches.? It hurts my heart :[ </p>

<p>And Providence college as a safety but I’m not really interested in it
Hopefully ND Gtown UVa will be EA if I can get my stuff together!</p>

<p>What’s your GPA? Taken any APs?</p>

<p>Have you considered Brandeis? NYU? GWU? Carnegie Mellon? University of Richmond? Barnard? Gettysburg College? </p>

<p>Your list seems pretty long… I don’t know if you really need more…</p>

<p>What are you looking for in a college?</p>

<p>My gpa is the best in my school and I have the highest rank and they don’t technically rank, though my counselor will include something about how I’m the #1 ( it is a small schoolthough).<br>
(Gpa Uw = between .8-3.9 its nearly impossible to get a 4.0. I think only one person in the history of my school ever did and that was years ago)</p>

<p>Our school doesn’t allow AP’s, but I’ve taken beyond the most rigorous courses (adding my own additional independent course)</p>

<p>Yes I meant to put Brandeis too, and I don’t like to location of NYU and Carnegie Mellon ( I’ve never had a pleasant experience with PA and NY haha)</p>

<p>I’ll definitely look at University of Richmond, Barnard and Gettysburg! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>also am I way out of my league with my previous list?</p>

<p>I’d say these are all reach-ish:
Georgetown
Emory
Chapel Hill
UVA
Notre Dame
Vassar
Vanderbilt
Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>Brandeis, BC, WF (test-optional), are decent targets. Do you have any safety schools in mind?</p>

<p>What are you interested in studying?</p>

<p>I’m interested in international relations and going pre-med and also getting a good liberal arts background too.</p>

<p>providence college is a safety, but I really don’t want to have to go there.
I really want Gtown and Johns Hopkins and Notre Dame!!</p>

<p>do you think with really really good recommendations and good leadership EC’s and engaging essays they’re still way out there?</p>

<p>I guess I need more safeties that I wouldn’t want to hurt myself if I went to? haha</p>

<p>Omg Emmy ur like me…I’m majoring in IR and going Pre-med hopefully @ Hopkins too…lol…but I would stick to both scores</p>
