ACT v. SAT

<p>Does Yale truly have any preference if you just submit the ACT even with SAT IIs. Or is it better to submit all of them.</p>

<p>I'll tell you what I think. Yale doesn't like one who offers to read other people's essay when he/she is not even a college student. Hope that helps. ;)</p>

<p>Yale says explicitly that it doesn't care, both on its website and in its regional informational meetings.</p>

<p>About the Yale policy, is ONLY the ACT fine for admissions? I'm a bit confused by their requirements wording. I always had the notion that Yale required SAT or ACT, both of which require 2 SAT IIs.</p>

<p>From the Yale site (It took me longer to cut and paste than to find):</p>

<p>Which standardized tests does Yale require?
Yale requires either the SAT I or the ACT. Students who submit scores for the SAT I are also required to take two of the SAT II Subject Tests. They may take any two subject tests of their choosing. The middle 50 percent of Yale's entering class this year had scores between 700 and 790 on both the verbal and the math sections of the SAT I.</p>

<p>in other words: For SAT I you must have 2 subject tests, for ACT they are not required.</p>

<p>What are the schools that DO require SAT IIs? </p>

<p>I know Columbia wants two, and I thought Harvard said 3. But maybe they both allow the substitution. </p>

<p>Oh, and, who is with me in saying that AP scores should be substituted for SAT 2? it's the same company, the same subjects, but I am always better prepared for AP. Oh, and AP is harder.</p>

<p>well that list is old. We have covered that Yale requires two in this thread. </p>

<p>But I assume no schools converted up to 3 tests. So I think it's just now Harvard Princeton and Georgetown.</p>
