How does Penn look at ACT

<p>Many colleges just look at the math and english section of this test to compare it to the SAT. What does penn do when they evaluate applicants based off the ACT?</p>

<p>i definitely second this question. is there a disadvantage if i turn in my ACT score? and if i turn in both, which do they look at?</p>

<p>i have this dilemma where i have a decent ACT score (35), a horrible SAT 1 score (<2100) and 4 good/okay SAT 2 scores(800,800,750,740). any advices??</p>

<p>iowan you need help</p>

<p>how can you say a 35 is decent.</p>

<p>and how can you say a 2100 is horrible.</p>

<p>you are not penn material.</p>

<p>sorry if my post came across as cocky; that was not my intention.
i guess meant "good" when i said "decent". and by "horrible",... well i'm just not quite sure of what a "good" SAT score is. i just feel like hearing from people around me and on this site, my below 2100 SAT score isn't quite up to par for an ivy league.</p>

<p>i think my intention for the previous post was to see if there is any way of getting around showing my SAT 1 score, because i don't really want to retake it if possible (i'm debating whether i should take the October one). so if anyone has advice on that, it will be greatly appreciated.<br>
thanks!</p>

<p>remember that standardized tests are not the only thing that are looked at by the admissions officers. Thus there is no magic SAT score.</p>

<p>bump...any current students at penn here to comment?</p>

<p>yes i'm also interested here, and second that bump.</p>

<p>They say they will look at your best test score. They treat ACT and SAT the same.</p>

<p>I submitted ACT, I got in, etc etc etc.... (if you want more details, do a search on this topic... it's asked on an almost weekly basis)</p>
