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?</p>

<p>By the way, I am a white male from the state of New York. I intend to major in either economics or computer Science. I figured this will come into play for certain out of state schools etc since this information plays a role in admissions.</p>

<p>Villanova: A bit of a reach, since your SAT scores are kind of on the low end.</p>

<p>Cornell: A reach for everyone. Enough said. I have a feeling that Cornell cares a lot about ECs that display interest in chosen major, which you don’t seem to have much of.</p>

<p>Penn: Even higher of a reach than Cornell, I think.</p>

<p>George Washington: Again, CR + M a bit on the low side. It’d be a low reach.</p>

<p>UNC Chapel Hill: Reach.</p>

<p>Northeastern: Reach.</p>

<p>Richmond: Low reach.</p>

<p>Duke: High reach.</p>

<p>Binghamton: Low Match.</p>

<p>Boston College: Reach-ish.</p>

<p>UVA: Reach?</p>

<p>Boston University: Match-ish.</p>

<p>UDelaware: Match, possible safety.</p>

<p>UMaryland: Reach-ish.</p>

<p>Disclaimer: I don’t have the best chancing.</p>

<p>My ACT score on the concordance table is a 1340. Which is greater than my SAT. I may just submit my SAT because of the essay score.</p>

5

<p>But I will certainly submit my ACT along with my SAT</p>
