ACT or SAT?

<p>I took both the SATs and ACT. I did horrible on the SATs (Somewhere around 1800) or so, but I did a lot better on the ACT (29 then 31). I know that the SAT is still a more widely accepted standardized test. Should I submit both, or just the ACT? My GPA and class rank are no problem. (3.96 U.W and 4.56 W, and I'm ranked 4/250)</p>

<p>All</a> four-year U.S. colleges now accept ACT test - USATODAY.com </p>

<p>Don't worry about it.</p>

<p>Thank you. See, my problem is I just don't do as well on the SAT as I do ACT. Thank you. =]</p>

<p>Do not submit your sat score , 31 ACT is the equivalent of 2040 sat according to Princeton Review.</p>

<p>The "problem" is that if you take and then have to submit SAT II scores somewhere, your SAT scores will also be submitted by default. Guess you could avoid applying to schools that want SAT II's.</p>

<p>submit the ACT score. There are schools which will not require SAT2's if the ACT score is the one submitted. What kpalmal brought up though is interesting. If you submitted your ACT score, then submitted your SAT2 scores (colleges will then see your SAT score), do colleges then also consider that low SAT score as part of the evaluation of your application?</p>

<p>Colleges consider your highest scores, period. Check Harvard's, Yale's, or Princeton's websites for statements to that effect.</p>

<p>A lot of schools (BC for example) now either take:</p>

<p>SAT I with two/three SAT IIs</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>ACT (plus writing)</p>

<p>So you don't need to worry about some schools that require SAT IIs seeing your SATs. Make sure you check to see if this is the case at some schools you are interested in.</p>
