good luck.</p>

<p>The scores are very close, so send the ACT scores in case the schools concord a 30 to be above 2020.</p>

<p>30 is the top 96% of the country. it is a very good score. I know someone who just got into Dartmouth with an ACT 29 composite. Yeah she was top 5% out of several hundred and had great ecs - like starting a book club for senior citizens. but nothing else special, no hook; didn’t take the SAT and had about 700 on her SAT IIs. So I don’t know if your SAT score equates to top 96%. Your ACT is very good. You have a shot at some very good schools. Be proud. Good luck.</p>

<p>According to [Estimated</a> Relationship between ACT Composite Score and SAT CR+M+W Score](<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html]Estimated”>http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html), 30 should concord to ~2000.</p>

<p>thanks for that link.
the act web site says a 30 is top 96%
anyway, very interesting</p>

<p>yeah… I’m going to send my ACT to all of my schools… it can’t hurt when they are statistically that close to one another…</p>
