<p>heeeey, so i'm applying Princeton and i have some questions for you guys about SAT vs. ACT scores.</p>

<p>my power SAT score is a 2080,
Math: 700
Writing: 710
Reading: 670
(i know, my reading completely and utterly killed me =[)
however, my ACT is a 33,
and i have a 36 in english, 34 math, 34 reading, 31 science
(from three diff. takings, but i have a total composite score of 33, power score = 34!)</p>

<p>what do you recommend i send in? will my SAT scores hurt me?
because according to average statistics i am on the lower mid 50% of SAT scores, but the high mid 50% of ACT scores.<br>
i have a ton of ECs which really tell a lot about me as a person and show my dedication and interests. for specifics, see link!
i go to an extremely competitive high school with a very hard curriculum (all honors + APs over four years...) and an ~91 GPA. no class rank, school too competitive.
i also have a unique family situation and medical history.
hoping my essay is good, but not the best i have written =\ not a big fan of the topic hah, but it definately tells the reader a lot about me as a person not obvious necessarily from grades, ECs, scores, etc.</p>

<p>ALSO: SUBJECT TESTS!!
Math I: 730
Math II: 710
Literature: 700
**i am only sending two, which ones? should i not send level 2 math? it is a horrid percentile, and will that hurt my chances?</p>

<p>My personal opinion is submit only the ACT, and then submit MathII and Lit.</p>

3

<p>ACT (33 is great! ~ 2200), Lit and Math II, like wassilon said. 2080 is way lower, don’t even send it if you don’t have to.</p>

4

<p>^ditto to that</p>

<p>okay! thanks! do you think i even have a chance with just my ACT and SATIIs?!
please be brutally honest! =)</p>

<p>While everyone likes to quantify admissions to crazy competitive schools, it IS impossible, I try to do it too. Even if you had a 2400, 36 and 800 on every subject test I would say the same thing. I’d be very impressed, but still. A 33 and your subject test scores put you in a good place though. Your scores won’t keep you out of any schools, which is nice to know. That’s not to say that scores will not let you in to any schools (save for 400’s and 500’s) but, the best thing you can do now is wait.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
