<p>Hey, northeastmom, nice to “see” you, too!</p>
<p>toledo - A couple of years ago when this topic came up on CC I posted a quote from a current guide book on college admissions. In it, the former dean of admissions at Yale was quoted as saying that they might “raise their eyebrows” at a kid from traditional SAT country taking the ACTs only and so I posted the quote here . There were some ardent ACT advocates on CC at that time who were nonetheless pretty sure this was now wrong, even at the most selective schools. I really had no axe to grind, so I wrote to the author. The author immediately wrote me back to say that the info was dated and the two tests are considered interchangeably virtually everywhere these days. If in doubt, one can always check with the prospective schools on a student’s list, but I don’t know of any schools where this is the case any longer. A very few still require SAT IIs even with the ACT, however.</p>
