<p>Hello Folks,</p>

<p>Since I am the type of person who scores way much higher on ACT than SAT, I am planning to take ACT for my college application. I have taken 3 SAT IIs already so they do not really matter to me, but one thing that I really concern today is, what if they treat ACT differently - compare to SAT - as Wake Forest & Princeton do. </p>

<p>Also another thing is even though my gpa(4.0/4.0 uw) and ECs(lots of lederships and project) are fine, I am really bad at getting fine scores on either SAT or ACT. Ya I know, I just mentioned I score better on ACT, but it is still only about 29 (imagine how terrible my SAT scores would be :eek: ). What do you suggest, I am really stressed out these days. Standardize Test is not my thing I guess. The funny thing is.. I got above 750 on my each SATIIs. I do well at school, be honest (Please don't take this as I'm being impudent) Essay is the only hope that I can rely on. I try hard, but ya.. my scores are killing me..</p>

<p>I hope I get fine score on September or October ACT so that I can get into my dream school which is COLUMBIAAA!!!! Please help.. my future school-mates! :cool:</p>

<p>What should I do? I just want to jump off the bridge (tiny one tho :P)</p>

<p>Strange...I did better on my ACT than my SAT as well, but bombed my SATIIs. In my experience, they basically considered just the test (SAT or ACT) that I did better on. To be really honest, though, you should still try to bump that ACT up. Try using an ACT study book. It's always good to take it sooner rather than later.</p>
