Do colleges convert your score?

Going off of this: https://www.act.org/solutions/college-career-readiness/compare-act-sat/

So if I got a 34 on reading and a 32 on math that put’s me at a 1460. Then I got a 35 on English, so that would put me at an 800. That’s a total of 2260. That’s accurate to a certain extent, right? I got a 32 on science so that’s what bought my score down.

Do you know if colleges look at your ACT score and compare it to an SAT score like the chart did? And do they do it by section or by composite?

No, they won’t do that. They usually compare your ACT composite to SAT CR+M.

However, a few schools value ACT E+M more (e.g. Georgia Tech) and I want to say I’ve seen some that value ACT M+R, but can’t remember which schools.

Either way your scores are great. If you got a 35 science, that’s a 2260 SAT. A 36 S would put you at 2270, a 34 S about 2240-2250.
