<p>I've been studying mainly so I can take the ACT (I live in Utah this is the more important test here) and totally disregarded taking the SAT. Say I decide to go to an east coast school or even an Ivy (though I doubt it) will they just toss me out with no SAT score or will they convert my ACT score into an SAT scoe.</p>
<p>you should check the requirements for each school, but usually they will accept either SAT or ACT</p>
<p>It doesn't really matter anymore.</p>
<p>I read somewhere that all colleges now accept either the SAT or ACT.</p>
<p>Yea, I'm a senior just finishing the process, and I submitted my ACT scores as well, and never submitted any SAT scores.</p>
<p>I got rejected from Brown, JHU, and Swarthmore, but I'm 99% that it was not because I didn't submit SAT scores. And I got into Rutgers, Muhlenberg, Gettysburg, Bucknell, Lehigh, and Colgate.</p>
<p>Bottom line....it does not matter. They don't care which one you send in. Just make sure none of them REQUIRE SATII's (none of mine did).</p>
<p>Also, I'm sure you know this, but take the ACT w/ writing.</p>
<p>Many schools that require the SAT II's will accept the ACT instead of both the SAT I and SAT II. Check their websites. If they say they don't care which you submit, believe them.</p>
<p>I've been accepted to Amherst and Brown with ACT only. I submitted SAT IIs for other schools where these tests were either required or recommended.</p>
<p>I think they look differently upon someone from Utah who submits only the ACT and someone from Jersey.</p>
<p>unregistered, that's actually not true. We're from MA, and many of d's classmates submitted only the ACT, with excellent results.</p>
<p>my friend only took the ACT and he was accepted to every school he applied to (Princeton, UPenn, WashU...). However, he got a 36, which helps.</p>
<p>Chedva, perhaps it isn't true. As an admissions officer, my brow would be raised if I saw someone from MA not submitting SAT scores, as the SAT is the dominant test here.</p>
