<p>So I have taken the ACT twice. The first time that I took the test I scored a 32 Composite and on my second try I scored a 34 Composite (36:R,35:M,34:W,30:S). I know that a 34 Composite is equivalent to about a 2260 SAT score but my SAT scores are not that high. I have taken the SAT twice and my first score was 2070 (700:M,710:W,660:R) and my second score was 2110 (680:M,700:W,730:R). I have read in several posts that colleges might see my ACT scores as the outlier considering my previous test records. I would like to just submit my ACT scores however, my Subject Test Scores (760 Physics, 750 MathII, 720 UHS) are required for several of the schools I am applying to and recommended by my top choice Stanford. So I have an issue here. Can I send my ACT and Subject Test Scores only or will I have to submit my SAT I scores with my Subject Test scores? I am just worried that the high level colleges will have a hard time believing that my 34 Composite is accurate when my other scores correspond to 2100-2220. What should I do in this situation. I am applying to Stanford, Carnegie Mellon (SCS), Cornell, Brown, Columbia. My other schools will not be looking that closely at this issue.</p>
<p>Stanford requires you to submit all SATs if you submit one or all ACTs if you submit one. You can choose which SAT IIs to send. In other words, for it your could send all ACTs and the SAT IIs and withhold SATs. It does not use the essay scores for admission.</p>
<p>Brown allows you to withold anything you want to withhold. However be aware that it accepts ACT in lieu of both SAT and SAT IIs and considers the SAT IIs as only part of the SAT package. In other words, those SAT IIs will be considered only if you submit an SAT score. If you submit SAT and SAT IIs and also ACT they will choose which is better for you, the SAT and SATs or alternatively the ACT, to determine admission.</p>
<p>Cornell is now on its third version of its all scores rule and it is still ambiguous. It says you can submit either SAT or ACT, along with SAT II scores and then says “Cornell requires students to submit all scores from SAT tests taken and does not participate in the College Board’s Score Choice.” Though that seems to imply that you can choose to send only one ACT test and that its all scores rule applies only to SAT tests, not SAT IIs or ACT, it does say it “does not participate” in score choice (whatever “does not participate” means) and it is impossible to send only SAT II scores without exercising score choice as to the SAT scores. Cornell does not consider the essays scores of either test or the writing section of the SAT for admission.</p>
<p>Columbia is ambiguous on what you are required to send. In one breadth it says you can submit SAT or ACT and in another it says in relation to any and all tests that you must submit scores from all test dates. You do have to submit all SAT IIs.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon used to say on its site that it required all scores and that you cannot exercise score choice. Beginninng very recently that no longer appears on its site so possible that it has now abandoned that rule and it does say you can submit SAT “or” ACT.</p>
<p>Personal view is that you should consider just submitting all your scores. They all superscore SATs but not ACTs and all say they will use that score that is better for you to determine admission.</p>
<p>Columbia is not ambiguous. If you take both the SAT and the ACT, you must send both scores. If you take either the SAT or the ACT more than once, you must submit scores from all sittings. You must submit all SAT II scores.</p>
