<p>Hoorah! Makes me feel a lot better about it!</p>

4

<p>don’t submit the sat…submit the act. the 700 writing doesn’t hold as much weight and kind of deflates your 1900</p>

5

<p>If I send both will, they look more at the stronger at the two?</p>

6

<p>ehh…i wouldn’t want them to see that 580 math score</p>

7

<p>If my math score on the ACT was a 24, would that be higher than the SAT math score?</p>

<p>Well my ACT was already sent to them, would sending both hurt me?</p>
