<p>Did anyone get accepted with only sending in ACT scores. I ask bc I only sent in my ACT (34) bc it was alot better than my SAT (2070). On the website is states that just sending the ACT is okay, but will it disadvantage me. I also didn't send in my SAT 2 scores.</p>
<p>You have to send the act OR sat so that should be fine. But the subject tests are required so you must send those in.</p>
<p>^ wrong. It's SAT + SAT2 <em>or</em> ACT.</p>
<p>Dbate, what did you get on your SAT2s?</p>
<p>Actually it's SAT + SATII or ACT plus writing.</p>
<p>My D did not take the SAT 1. She sent in ACT with writing "only". (However she did opt to send her SAT II scores even though they were not required.) So this probably doesn't help answer your question. She did get accepted SCEA with out the SAT 1....if that helps.</p>
<p>O my bad. I swore that subject tests were required. I dont know why they arent, I mean i dont think the ACT= SAT+ 2 subject tests.</p>
<p>for yale, ACT = SAT+ 2 subject tests.</p>
<p>for harvard, you have to take the SAT IIs no matter what</p>
<p>for princeton, i'm not sure</p>
<p>depends on the college</p>
<p>Diverging slightly, but if you send in ACT + writing BUT you also do well on your SAT IIs and want to send them in..is this move irrelevant? Will it help, or have no effect? </p>
<p>Just wondering..(haven't even taken my SAT IIs yet)</p>
<p>It should definitely help; you're proving that you know more things well. Definitely send in good SAT-II's if you have them. Most people do.</p>
<p>@peytoncline, Princeton also requires 3 SAT Subject even if you opt to send the ACT + Writing without the SAT Reasoning Test</p>
<p>Your options for Yale are either:
SAT I and two SAT IIs</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>ACT with writing</p>
<p>You should be fine!</p>
<p>I only sent in my ACT score (I didn't even take the SAT I), and I got in. </p>
<p>I did, however, submit in 3 SAT subject tests, but they're not required.</p>
<p>I didn't really worry about college requirements for SAT IIs b/c i had already taken 3 subject tests back in may and gotten two 800s and a 740 on them; and i figured that the most a college would require is three tests, so i just sent those in along with my ACT scores</p>
<p>Did you do ACT writing?</p>
<p>I did the ACT with writing bc I got an 8 on my essay. The reason I don't want to send the SAT is bc I am applying for engineering and I got a 680 on my Math 2 and a 650 on SAT math, but I got a 35 on the ACT math, so I would much rather have them only see my 35.</p>
<p>The ACT and SAT are so disparate in score value. I mean I'm totally with you there on the math..my SAT math scores are embarrassingly low despite my proficiency in actual math CLASS. I'm about to give the ACTs a shot because I know there's more legitimate math on it (TRIG <3) so I'm hoping my ACT score will better reflect my ability to actually do math (whereas the SAT makes it seem like I wouldn't even be able to manage x+4=23)</p>
<p>How do you think the writing on the ACT compares to the essay on the SAT? Because I've gotten the essay on SAT down, there's a pretty legit formula that you follow and while your essay is completely BSed it results in a 12...but is the ACT not as BSable? Just wondering..</p>
<p>You can't mix and match though can you? Like you can't do the ACT and the SAT IIs...it's ACT w/ writing and SAT IIs if you want to send in more scores?</p>
<p>According to the SCEA admissions data this year, at least four posters reported only ACT scores w/o SAT reasoning scores (which is not to say they did not take this test, only that they reported the results of the former alone). Of these four, two appear not to have taken subject tests.</p>
<p>My understanding is that scores on these tests correlate at better than .90. A few testers do significantly better on one or the other, but in scanning the SCEA data, it is remarkable how often one score can be used to forecast the score on the other test.</p>
<p>I got a 36 on the ACT, but I still sent in my SAT scores & SAT IIs (2320 SAT I and 2300 SAT II). I figured it couldn't hurt, even though those scores are lower than my ACT.</p>
<p>I really dislike the SAT. I hate not being able to guess. And the essay is really bad. 25 minutes is not enough to wite a good essay. We get more time than that to brainstorm for IB assessments I think.</p>
<p>So I am going to stick with only sending in the ACT. I think that is alot better than the alternative.</p>
