Common App Questions

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>Hello! I've been reading some of the questions recently posted but I can't seem to find answers to mine...hopefully someone can help me :)</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Do you have to report SAT/ Subject Test scores if you only want colleges to evaluate your ACT score? I took the SAT in January and three subject tests in June, but my ACT score is much better and the colleges I am applying to require the ACT w/writing OR the SAT and two subject tests. </p></li>
<li><p>Are honor societies extra-curriculars? I am a member of NHS, NEHS, NSHS, and Mu Alpha Theta. I participate in them all year and have leadership positions. I feel like just listing them as an "honor" in the honors section is not enough, but I want to be sure. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>What I’ve been told is that if you hold an active leadership position they are an honor and EC.</p>

<p>cty4ever is correct!</p>

<p>Okay so even if I don’t have a leadership position in one, but it still requires tutoring and community service outside of school, it’s only an honor?</p>

5

<p>No, if it is a significant amount of work than by all means put in under extracurricular experience! Also put it under honors :)</p>

<p>Best of luck,

<p>Okay thanks, Lehigh! And does anyone know anything about my first Q?</p>

<p>You are able to just report ACT even if you took SAT and SAT IIs. Simply leave those two sections blank, only filling out ACT. </p>

<p>Best regards,
