<p>Somebody told me that even though I'll be submitting my ACT (a 33) to Columbia, they'll also see my SAT score (1910) because of the subject tests. My ACT converts to a higher score than the SAT. My question is, will they treat my ACT score as equally as the SAT, or do they prefer SAT more?</p>
<p>I also can't really retake the SAT because I haven't taken the subject tests yet. I have one chance to take the IIs before the ED deadline, so I'm studying super hard for them and hope I don't bomb.</p>
<p>After talking to many other people about this issue, I'm in a similar situation, and also after asking admissions officers at the various schools I visited this summer, including Columbia, it seems as if no one holds either test in higher regard. What most if not all schools do is convert ACT to SAT I equivalent or SAT I to ACT and treat the two scores at two separate takes of the same test, thus only looking at the higher of the two. I wouldn't be so worried about your SAT and instead mainly focus on your SAT IIs.</p>
