How would an Ivy League view a good ACT and bad SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Well, I received a 30 on my first ACT without prep. I think that is pretty good for a first one. I'm going to prep for the second one and shoot for a 33+.</p>

<p>I received a 1900 on my first SAT though, and a 198 on my PSAT. Wasn't too stellar about it..</p>

<p>I received a 740 in math which kills, considering I should have easily gotten a perfect score, and I averaged a 580 on my W and CR... </p>

<p>I really need to work on those, and am hopefully going to see progress when I start studying for my November SAT in September after my ACT. I plan to use the BB to study for it.</p>

<p>I also plan on taking 2 subject tests in December: Math 2, and I'm not sure about the other one yet. </p>

<p>So yeah, back to my question: How do you think an Ivy League school would view a good ACT score and a bad SAT score?</p>

<p>They will consider the higher of the two scores, in your case the ACT.</p>

3

<p>Do you have to send in both SAT and ACT scores? Can you just send your better ones?</p>

4

<p>I hope you’re right college4three.</p>

5

<p>Don’t even send the SAT.</p>

6

<p>If you end up with a 33 and a 2000 or so, you might consider sending only the ACT score. Most of the colleges I’ve looked at will accept either.</p>

7

<p>are there schools that will only accept the SAT and not the ACT?</p>

8

<p>^ Nope. 10char</p>

<p>thanks, I just had a near heart attack</p>

10

<p>this is good news lol i have a 1910 on my SAT but a 33 on ACT, will colleges find it suspicious or curious that i did not submit SAT then?</p>

11

<p>If you just submit ACT, I don’t think they’ll know that you took the SAT as well.</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>Why would they be suspicious? Thousands of students submit only an ACT score.</p>

13

<p>I thought that the ivy leagues require both the SAT and ACT though.</p>

14

<p>^No they don’t require both.</p>

15

<p>Oh okay, but what if I take 2 subject tests? I know I’m taking the Math 2 subject test for sure.</p>
