<p>My SAT superscore is 2130 (760CR, 680M, and 690W) and my subject test scores are (710 Lit, 720 USH).</p>
<p>I intend (and I'm pretty sure that I will) make a 34+ on the ACT.</p>
<p>So I have a problem. I feel like if I get a 34+ on the ACT, sending my SAT scores won't hurt me, but my subject test scores might and I (really) do not want to retake any subject test. So, I realize that some schools allow you to take the SAT w/subject tests or the ACT alone, while others require the subject tests regardless. I'm looking at selective schools, and I'm wondering how much not submitting subject test scores would lower my chances at schools that don't require subject tests with the ACT and also how much these scores would affect my chances at schools like Davidson, William and Mary, Colgate, Duke, etc.</p>
<p>So, to summarize, how bad are these scores and should I even consider taking them again if I do really well on the ACT?</p>
<p>It depends on the number of institution and university. You need to check directly with the university and colleges that you are applying with it because some of the university demands and some don’t . some say’s sat I and sat II or ACT some say’s SAT I and SAT II or ACT and SAT II . so it varies on the number of institution that you have selected so please directly check from the university that you are applying to it.</p>
<p>Yes, but if the college does not require subject tests, am I putting myself at a disadvantage by not reporting them and only reporting my ACT and SAT. Furthermore, if a school does require them, how bad do mine look in combination with a 34+ ACT (am I helping or hurting myself by reporting my 710 Lit and 720 USH at some more competitive schools or does a high score on the ACT mitigate any harm that these scores might do to my application).</p>
<p>No disadvantage. If you submit all your scores (all of which are actually quite good for colleges you mention), colleges that accept ACT in lieu of both SAT and SAT IIs will determine which they believe is the better for you in determining admission, the ACT alone or alternatively the SAT plus the SAT IIs.</p>
<p>If a college or university says it will accept ACT in lieu of SAT I and SAT II, then it will. Really. </p>
<p>It just doesn’t make sense for any institution to say it wants one thing when it really wants another, and then reward only the applicants who were able to guess what the Dean of Admissions was secretly thinking.</p>
<p>I know that when one is applying to college, one has a natural tendency to try to outsmart the admissions officers the same way one outsmarts the people who write SAT questions, and, like some kind of oracle peering into birds’ entrails in ancient times, to try to read meaning where there really isn’t any. My whole family went through this very insanity this time last year. But, really, it *is *a kind of insanity.</p>
<p>So, to clarify, if admissions decides that my ACT is better than my SAT/Subject Tests, they will ONLY consider the ACT? I was just under the assumption that the subject tests were just taken into account separately… For example, if I got a 36 on the ACT and I wanted to apply to Yale (which requires SAT and SAT Subject Tests or ACT), the admissions would only look at my 36 ACT score because it is better? This doesn’t seem logical to me because the subject tests that I took test completely different subjects than those on the ACT… which is why I’m reluctant to just drop the ball and send all of my scores to every school when December arrives.</p>
<p>For the admission decision they will use ACT or alternatively SAT plus SAT IIs. Nevertheless, you particularly mention Yale which raises a different issue. Yale is an “all scores” (anti-score choice) college and you cannot submit SAT IIs without also submitting SAT.</p>
