Already Sent SAT Scores, Just got ACT Scores

Test Preparation

<p>Hi everybody,</p>

<p>I just received my December ACT scores and I got a 35 and I am super-stoked. However, I did not have it when most of my deadlines were due so I sent my much less impressive SAT score to my colleges. (2090) </p>

<p>I have heard that colleges will think of a discrepancy like that as a negative. Is this true? I just wanted to see your opinions, as I am sending in my ACT score anyways. </p>

<p>I know I am much better than my 2090 shows; I have a 5.0 in all APs in junior and senior year, I just did not take the SAT well I guess. People at my school with similar grades are scoring over 2200, but I couldn't and I took it twice. I have met similar people who have not done well on one but have done really well on the other, and I guess I am just one of those people.</p>

<p>Thanks, this site is so helpful just reading although I don't post often.</p>

<p>Or do I still have time to cancel sending my SAT I scores? I sent them in on December 31st I believe. Although I know it gives you a message when you try to only send SAT II scores and check off your SAT I scores not to send.</p>

<p>You cannot cancel any score reports once you’ve ordered them (for College Board). However, I wouldn’t worry about this. Many people do much better on SAT than ACT, and vice versa! Admissions wouldn’t look at these scores and think negatively of you. They would just know that you are better suited for the ACT than the SAT, which is totally fine. Besides, the “discrepancy” isn’t HUGE (it’s not like you scored 1800 on the SAT and 35 on the ACT). You’ll be fine :)</p>

<p>Thank you so much RainbowSprinkles, I was just paranoid I guess. :P</p>
