<p>I'm wondering is submitting both the SAT 1 and 2 scores and ACT scores will improve your chances of acceptance? Does anyone have any information if Yale gives any weight to having higher ACT scores than SAT scores?</p>
<p>I don't know if they weigh one more over the other. I sent in both and left it to them.</p>
<p>Does Yale take the highest composite at one sitting for the ACTs or the highest individual sections from different tests to get a new composite?</p>
<p>Its an interesting dilemma. I've gone to several sites that supposedly predict your changes of acceptance, and choosing my ACT as a preferred score my chances of acceptance at several schools are higher. The difference is especially significant at Yale and Cornell, not so significant at Duke. Anybody have any thoughts as to why this should be the case? My SAT scores were 740V and 710M, and 34 ACT, from what I've read the scores are in the same range.</p>
<p>Sammie- I'm sorry I don't know the answer but I'd like to know as well, since our scores are very similar
I have: 740V 720 M and a 34 ACT
supposedly the 34 converts to 1530-1550 on the SAT, but I'd like to know if this is really true.</p>
<p>Willy-I found this website that compares to two scores:<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2002/pdf/ten.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2002/pdf/ten.pdf</a> , as you can see the 34 equates to a 1520 SAT I total.</p>
<p>That site is two years old.</p>
<p>Sara,</p>
<p>Do you think that the information isn't valid because information was posted 2 years ago? Here's a site with a 2003 editing date: <a href="http://www.powerprep.com/actvssat.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.powerprep.com/actvssat.htm</a>.
It appears that the numbers didn't change.</p>
<p>The question still remains, will a higher ACT score improve your chances of admission?</p>
<p>I think the official Yale position is that an ACT score has the same importance as a SAT score. One is not better than the other.</p>
<p>Yale will only take your highest numbers. In your case, they will take the 34 and convert it into their own ranking system (much like, if not the same as, the Academic Index found on this site).</p>
