<p>I wonder how colleges look at your ACT scores.
Colleges from especially the east, tend to have less then 25% of students report their ACT scores. Would colleges not prefer to receive ACT scores??
Or do they tend to see both ACT and SAT equally</p>
<p>If you didn't do as well on the SAT's as you did on the ACT's, they will STILL overlook the SAT's, even if you are going to college in the East, like me :D (but I guess it depends on the school, really)</p>
<p>I wouldn't think they'd hold ACT scores against you. In the midwest, some schools don't even accept SAT. Other schools probably will just assume you are also applying to one of those and you wanted to save a little money.</p>
<p>I got a 32 on the act which equal 99%
but I got a 1930 on the new SAT.
Obviously I did better on the ACT, should I even retake the new SAT?</p>
<p>Im thinking of applying schools that goes around rank 10~40 from USnews.com</p>
<p>Almost all schools now accept either the ACT or SAT and neither is given any favoritism. Exceptions I am aware of:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Wake Forest and Harvey Mudd do not accept the ACT.</p></li>
<li><p>Brigham Young does not accept the SAT.</p></li>
<li><p>Princeton asserts that it accepts the ACT only if all the other colleges you are applying to take only the ACT (and Brigham Young is the only one I am aware of that does that).</p></li>
<li><p>There are a number of colleges that normally require SAT II's but favor the ACT submitters by accepting the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT II's, e.g., Yale, Brown, Penn, Tufts, Duke, Amherst, Vassar, Boston College, Pomona, Wesleyan.</p></li>
