<p>Also, my ACT essay was rather low. However my SAT essay was relatively high. Will colleges acknowledge that I am still a strong writer. The ACT prompt was about using GPS tracking on children. It was not very "writer-friendly" in my perspective. Do colleges focus heavily upon the ACT essay score? Also, should I submit both tests or just one of them? Thank you</p>

<p>sat and act are right at the mean, great class rank and ecs, i think you’re ok. i’d submit both (your sat writing should mitigate concerns about your act essay)</p>

<p>excellent. In terms of the test submissions, I was thinking right along the same lines. Thank you!</p>

<p>Very impressive overall. I think you have a strong chance of acceptance. While you can submit both tests, you should probably submit the one that best represents your strengths. That being said, since both of your scores are strong with regards to the GW average send both won’t hurt you. Good luck!</p>
