<p>Hey i was just wondering if colleges prefer the ACT over the SAT during admissions. Like would a person with a high SAT score be more qualified than a person with a high ACT score or do most colleges weigh them the same? Any help would be great b/c i prefer the ACT over the SAT but if the SAT's are weighed more during admissions i might as well man it up and just study for the SAT.</p>
<p>I think overall it's weighted the same, and I think in the midwest they even like the ACT better! Crazy!</p>
<p>This topic has been discussed to death on CC. The bottom line is that colleges do not have a preference for either test. If you wish, take them both and see which one works best for you.</p>
<p>Schools that take both (which are most at this point) don't care. They weight them equally.</p>
<p>is it possible that i can not allow colleges to see my ACT scores and just let them see my SAT I and SAT II scores?? anyone?</p>
<p>The SAT and ACT are administered by two different companies and they do not share score information. You can choose to submit all SAT I and SAT II scores or the ACT scores from your best test date.</p>
<p>ok the thing is i didnt do well on the ACT compared to my SAT score and i dont want colleges to see my ACT score at all. so is it possible at all for them not to see it?</p>
<p>YESSS, just dont send them your score report......</p>
<p>Don't ask for the scores to be sent and don't pay for the scores to be sent and the scores (magically) won't be sent!</p>
<p>one other thing to remember is that some colleges will accept the ACT in lieu of SAT+Subject Tests, i.e., you may not have to take/send subject tests.</p>
<p>bluebayou: Yes, that was one of the reasons I took the ACT so i wouldn't have to take the SAT IIs for certain schools. But seeing how poorly I did I think im going to take my chances with the SAT IIs and stick with the SAT I. Thank you everyone for all your feedback. I'm not really familiar with the ACT and the site so I wanted to get my facts straight. Thanks again.</p>
