<p>I have taken the SAT and ACT once (SAT in junior, ACT in senior year) and two SAT subject tests (one literature and one math II). Two of the colleges I am applying to do not participate in score choice: Stanford and University of Pennsylvania. I am very satisfied with my ACT score, but not so much with my SATs (SAT must be cursed: I was really sick both test dates but for some reason continued to do the tests). Both schools say you can take the SAT + 2 Subject Tests OR the ACT but must submit a full testing history regardless of test. How will the admissions officers consider the multiple tests? Will lower scores serve as a detriment (I am not talking about a make or break situation, but rather "another reason not to admit"), or will the ACT serve as the main factor in the testing record (since technically I only had to take the ACT...). Thanks everybody!</p>
<p>They would take a look at your highest score aka superscore your tests, and consider those </p>
<p>I think you can take Penn at their word:
Stanford is a little less forthright but I think they will do the same.</p>
