<p>Im applying to all UC's and i live in California.</p>
<p>I scored a 30 on the ACT and a 1870 on the SAT. I have decided to only send my ACT because i had subscores lower than 600 on my SAT. Will only sending my ACT score hurt my admissions? btw i did fulfull the sat subject tests requirements. I am only talking about ACT and SAT 1</p>
<p>If ACT is better, that is fine; if you send both, UCs will use that one it believes is higher. Question is; have you complied with UCs anti-score choice rule. It prohibits you from excercising score choice when sending any SAT or SAT II scores. Thus, when you send SAT IIs, you are required to also send any SATs that exist at the time and not exercise score choice. Did you comply with that rule?</p>
<p>No, UCs will convert it to a UC score…it’s a score out of 100. Just submit your ACT score.</p>
<p>Here is more information, [Hammer’s</a> Blog: ‘UC Score’ replaces ACT, SAT scores](<a href=“http://hammertutoring.blogspot.com/2006/07/uc-score-replaces-act-sat-scores.html]Hammer’s”><data:blog.pageTitle/>).</p>

<p>This is not true. Their website specifically states either SAT I and SAT II OR ACT and SAT II.</p>
<p>Well im pretty sure im able to practice score choice without the uc’s knowing(correct me if im wrong). When registering for sat tests i didnt put in my school so scores arent gonna be sent there and therefore wont be sent to the colleges. UC’s give me the choice of what to send so how are they gonna know if i didn’t send everything?</p>
<p>What I stated was correct. Yes, the UCs will use either the ACT plus two SAT IIs for admission or the SAT plus two SAT IIs. That rule does not determine what must be sent. Its rule is that you are prohibited from exercising score choice with the College Board and thus if you go to send SAT II tests you must also send any exisitng SAT tests regardless of whether you also send an ACT. It will then use either the SAT or ACT for admission depending on which one it believes is the better score for you.</p>
<p>As to UCs finding out whether you did exercise score choice, it may not occur before admission but may occur after admission. For UCs you do not submit high school transcripts before admission (you self-report on app). You submit them after you finish high school. Many high schools put all your test scores on your official high school transcript, so if yours does, the UCs will have a way to determine whether you complied with its rule against the exercise of score choice. If you left off high school from test application, you will be able to avoid that possibility. UCs reserve the right to withdraw any admission given based on information they receive after you are admitted including any information in your high school transcript or any information from any other source.</p>

<p>Exactly as it says: the ACT and the SAT II. Nowhere does it say send the SAT with an ACT. SAT and SAT subject tests are not considered the same for score choice unless you’re submitting an SAT and SAT subject. Sending an ACT means no SATs must be sent at all. It would say : ACT and two subject tests and any SATs you have taken.</p>
<p>Your argument would be that all schools opting out of score choice would require SAT tests taken by someone sending an ACT. This is not true and never has.</p>
<p>drusba’s saying that im not complying to the UC rules because im not sending ALL my sat scores. Regardless if i send act or not, the UCs want us to send all sat scores ever taken. This is my first time hearing that if i took the ACT, I dont have to send in SAT I scores.</p>
<p>So im good then right? If i dont have any of my scores on my transcript, UCs wont know</p>
<p>
Have you ever been to the UC website?
It says ACT and subject tests OR SAT and subjects.</p>
<p>If I were to read this sentence correctly, OR means either is perfectly valid. If you send the ACT you only need to send all subject test scores. </p>
<p>Actually you don’t; UCs don’t accept certain subject tests so you aren’t allowed to send them, so by definition this contradicts their policy on score choice. Second, I called them up about their requirement and an admission counselor told me it was “preferred” to send all scores. And third, collegeboard says for berkeley:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The requirement of the subject test requirements is stated later, indicating that they DO not want your SAT scores if you submit the ACT.</p>
<p>Fourth, no college can reject score choice, according to the collegeboard.</p>
<p>So with four different proofs on one statement, just send your ACT and subject tests.</p>
<p>Most schools accept either/or. I don’t know of any school that requires the SAT specifically or the ACT specifically, they only require that you send one of those tests’ scores. I’d say send the ACT and forget the SAT.</p>
<p>Well i was just wondering cause wouldnt the UC’s think its odd that i live in California and only took the ACT. I was looking at the UC stats and usually 98% of the admits submitted SAT while only 20-30% submitted ACT. That means only 2% submitted ACT only. This bothers me cause i would think there’d be more ACT only students.</p>
<p>ACT composite or SAT total cannot be converted into UC score. You need all scores for each subject to convert.</p>
