<p>Unfortunately, it didn't change my composite. Oh well, 34 is still good enough for me!!!</p>

22

<p>The essay doesn't affect your composite anyway.</p>

23

<p>how do you guys read so fast? I only got to do half the questions on reading but got them all right. it brought me down to a sad 26.</p>

24

<p>hey floridakmm...</p>

<p>haha I don't get how other people can finish the reading test too</p>

<p>But it's inspiring that you didn't do HALF of it (2 passages? 20 questions? really?), and yet still got a 26!! That's GREAT.</p>

<p>Did you just bubble 20 of the same letters? Or did you leave them blank?</p>

<p>etc</p>

25

<p>33 Composite</p>

<p>10 on the essay</p>

26

<p>When you submit your general composite score, can you opt to not send your essay--or is it part of the bargain?</p>

27

<p>Well I was so mad at myself for not finishing that I just didn't bubble anything in and then in the science I already knew I was going to get a bad grade since my english that I didn't finish that section either. That was only about 8 questions though on science. 26 was my composite score bc I got like a 22 and 24 in the science and reading. I was sooo mad at myself</p>

28

<p>i'm exactly the same as CCShamrock. 33 comp- 30 math, 31 science, 34 english, 36 reading, 10/12 essay. i tried to look up the conversion chart, but my computer is being weird and won't load it. does anyone know what a 33 ACT converts to on the SAT?</p>

29

<p>33 = 1460-1500
according to princeton review, and it's about a 2190 on the new sat</p>

30

<p>Um, according to the Ivies, a 33 isn't anywhere close to a 2190. They really prefer the SAT's. Princeton Review is inaccurate. Also that 2190 means a lot more if you did well in the math and verbal as these are the emphasized sections.</p>

31

<p>haz, where did you get that info from>?????</p>

32

<p>It's commonly known. Ask most Ivy people and they will tell you they strongly prefer the SAT. MIT, Stanford, Duke, and Cal Tech are included in this group. Princeton, and Penn say it directly on various webpages, Yale also does and certainly all of the other schools on the list (except for Brown, possibly). Brown seems to be a little less test based than the other schools.</p>

33

<p>has anyone else heard about haz's findings as true?</p>

34

<p>I have never heard of what haz is saying. Duke converts your ACT to an SAT score for their academic index--my friend (who was admitted (submitted both SAT and ACT I believe), but turned them down) sat in on a admission session with a rep.</p>

<p>MIT also says that they don't care. Another friend submitted an ACT and SAT IIs--no SAT I--and was admitted to MIT during regular decision.</p>

<p>As for Princeton:
<a href="http://www.princeton.edu/main/admission-aid/undergraduate/requirements/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princeton.edu/main/admission-aid/undergraduate/requirements/&lt;/a>
but, yeah, they don't mention the ACT here:
<a href="http://www.princeton.edu/pr/admissions/u/brief/3adm.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princeton.edu/pr/admissions/u/brief/3adm.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

35

<p>allright thanks</p>

36

<p>i have never heard of what haz has stated and they say they take both equally, at least harvard does</p>

37

<p>Sorry about that. Princeton, Penn, and Yale at least really do prefer the SAT. That part I am sure about because I have either seen it stated or heard from people that they should take the SAT (Yale). I would have thought that Harvard prefered the SAT.</p>

38

<p>haha no prob haz.</p>

39

<p>Look, if you get a 35 or 36 on the ACT, they are not going to turn you down. However, submitting ONLY a 32 ACT might create some problems. Taking SAT II's along with the ACT (though not required) probably helps as well.</p>

40

<p>yeah im planning on taking 3 sat2's, just not the SAT1's</p>
