<p>D only took ACT with writing as well, plus SAT II’s for one school that required them. She felt that she would have to spend a ton of prep time (that she didn’t have) to score the equivalent on the SATI (I think for a 34 ACT it is 1520?). As for the schools that are rumored to prefer SAT, she was National Merit Commended based on her PSAT so hopefully that proves to those schools that the ACT score was not a “fluke”…</p>
