However... My highest ACT composite is only a 26 (30 English, 24 Math, 27 Reading, and 21 science)

SAT: 1790 (580 M, 580 CR, 630 W)

<p>Thanks! Can anyone recommend which scores to send, should I send both SAT and ACT or just one and not the other?</p>

<p>i guess your ACT score is better than your SAT score compared to the average of Scripps. But can’t tell I’m 100% sure–i dont think there’s much difference. Btw, your gpa and percentile are really strong, although standardized scores and ECs are weak. If your essay stands out, I guess you have fair chance:))</p>

<p>Does Scripps superscore the ACT? If they don’t I would have to send in my highest composite—which is only a 26. Which is higher a 26 on the ACT or a 1790 on the SAT?</p>
