Better score? Superscore?

<p>For sending to MIT, HYP, etc, which would be better:</p>

<p>ACT: 34 (12 on essay)
SAT: 2320 (9 on essay)</p>

<p>Equal? Both good? Send both anyways? </p>

<p>Does the ACT superscore at all? I'm not clear on that.</p>

<p>The SAT score is considered a little higher [The</a> ACT | ACT-SAT Concordance | ACT](<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/]The”>The ACT Test for Students | ACT) but both are within range of each other. Some schools will superscore ACT but most do not. [Colleges</a> that superscore the ACT College Admissions Counseling](<a href=“http://www.collegeadmissionspartners.com/college-testing/colleges-superscore-act/]Colleges”>Colleges that superscore the ACT - BS/MD Admissions by College Admissions Partners)</p>

<p>I would send the SAT simply because of the 2300+ threshold being met. A 34 is more synonymous with a high 2200.</p>

<p>I would not worry too hard about the essay grades. </p>

<p>The SAT does superscore for many many schools, including the top schools. The ACT (at least to my knowledge) has limited superscoring schools.</p>
