<p>The main college I'm hoping to get into (so far) asks for the SAT --OR-- the ACT w/ writing. (My scores are below). But I'm not sure which of my scores on the tests are more impressive. Which should I submit? I'd be applying to higher end state school, and maybe some harder-to-get-into private schools. </p>
<p>I'm also wondering if I have any chance of getting into an Ivy League, or if that's a little unrealistic. I'd love to go somewhere impressive like that. I'm a Junior. My GPA for first semester was 3.95. I have extra-curric's (Softball, Student Council), around 140-150 volunteer hours, and I have an "attention grabber"--was on a Tornado disaster relief team Sophomore year, traveling internationally this summer for medical trip.</p>
<p>I got an 1850 on the SAT.
Reading-630
Math-580
Writing-640 (Essay scored an 8)</p>
<p>And I got a 26 on the ACT.
English-31
Math-21
Reading-32
Science-20
Combined English/Writing-29 (Essay scored an 8)</p>
<p>your act is slightly higher at roughly 84th percentile vs your sat at about 82nd percentile</p>
<p>Actually, your SAT score is almost 100 points above your ACT.</p>
<p>26 = 1770.

<p>At an Ivy League, your score would be below 10%, so you would probably want to take it again next year (you can improve a lot from then).</p>
<p>I used the ACT and college boards information as well, and tabulated her area score percentiles. </p>
<p>Chloe, regardless of whether you chose to gauge ‘better’ by percentile or estimate, it’s true that prepping and retaking one or both is a good idea.</p>
<p>I’ll be super blunt, so don’t be too sensitive, BUT, with your current stats, you don’t have any chances for an Ivy League School. As for improvement, your SAT is better, so I recommend retaking that</p>
