<p>I know Rutgers accepts ACT scores but do they care about them. That sounded a bit confusing but what im trying to say is are the SAT and ACT equivalent in the admissions process or do they prefer one over the other. People told me its a waste taking the ACT if your going to Rutgers because its pointless and admissions officers look down upon it, but I feel that i can get a better score on the ACT than the SAT. Also, if you dont take the SAT II's to get into Rutgers does it really matter? I know it helps, but is it really an important factor and how much does it help?</p>
