<p>Hey guys...</p>
<p>I got a 34 on my ACT (33w, 34m, 34r, 35s) but only a 2170 on the SAT (790m, 700w, 680cr). Do you guys think that my decent ACT score could somehow "cancel" or balance out the bad SAT score? I have to send both anyway because of SAT 2s... so I'm kind of stuck.</p>
<p>The admissions officers at MIT look at whichever set of scores portrays you in the best light. And remember, scores are not what make your application; it's only one part.</p>
<p>good job; don't worry about that, they will look at the higher score (percentile).</p>
<p>Good News: They only look at the score that makes you look better!</p>
<p>what they said. plus 2170 is a really good score, you crazy nut :]</p>
<p>Yeah, how is 2170 "bad"? And your ACT is more than decent. Don't worry about it. :)</p>
<p>I am in in the exact situation, 34 on ACT, 2140 SAT w/ mediocre sat2's 700,690,690 (for the elite schools). My question is, will my ACt not only cancel out the SAT I but also the SAT IIs??</p>
<p>Nah, I don't think the readers are that straight edged. If you want them to know about the SAT IIs, just include it. If not, don't.</p>
