<p>Ive been "pondering" on this thought for a while. As i debate on weather or not to take the ACT since my SAT just suck, I wonder do top universities (private mostly, some public) prefer one test over another? Do they show favoritism or likely admission to say Student A with a high SAT score over Student B with a high ACT score?
Thanks it was just bothering the crap out of me.</p>
<p>For the last time, no.</p>
<p>Just take the ACT. If you get a good score on it you will be better off submitting a high ACT than a lower SAT, regardless of how the colleges view it. Besides, the school really don't care.</p>
<p>Yea take both. That way, you will do better on one of them, and you can send that score.</p>
<p>this one guy from princeton review told me that</p>
<p>Yale waivers the subject tests for ACT.</p>
<p>is that true?</p>
<p>Yes, if you take the ACT Yale does not require SAT I or SAT II tests.</p>
<p>Most schools will now accept the ACT with Writing in lieu of SAT I and II.</p>
<p>Is it true that Rice Univ. also waives the SAT II's if you take the ACT w/ Writing? Im getting conflicting statements between students who previously applied to Rice and the Rice website.</p>
<p>The verb is "waive." The college website should always be the most up to date source about whether a college waives subject test requirements or not.</p>
<p>From the Rice website for applicants for the 2009. The testing requirement is different than it was for 2008 applicants. </p>
<p>"All freshman applicants must take either the SAT and two SAT Subject Tests in fields related to their proposed area of study, or the ACT with the writing test."</p>
<p>When in doubt, check with the college or university.</p>
