<p>I was wondering, since I got a 35 on the ACT but a 2080 on the SAT, does this ruin my chances of admission, or will they just look at the higher score?</p>
<p>I wouldn't submit the SAT. Why show them it? There's not reason to submit both if you don't want to.</p>
<p>they will just consider the higher score, red shirt.</p>
<p>Just as a bit of reality testing here, DS had 2200 SAT's 34 ACT, 97+ average, 10 AP's, all 4's and 5's and he was rejected by Dartmouth. He was, however, accepted by Brown, and he attends Williams.</p>
<p>Similar data point: A kid I interviewed last year was his high school valedictorian, president of the student body, started the school's lacrosse team, worked at soup kitchen, had a 2200 SAT and I wrote the most favorable interview recommendation possible and he was rejected.</p>
<p>average for matriculating students is 32, average for accepted students probably 33</p>
<p>Sorry to bump in but...
I gave my ACT in December, and scored a 34. ACT with writing is available only on October here in my country. And I was wondering whether an ACT without writing would be used for evaluation if I submit it.
I had applied ED to Dartmouth and was deferred to the regular pool.
So I have already sent my SAT(750M, 690W, 680CR) and now am planning to send the ACTs. Would they even consider it??</p>
<p>Another question is also troubling me..I had registered for the Jan SAT, and have mentioned in my commonapp that I am giving it. Well..I am in an absolute dilemma as to whether to give the Jan SAT or not. If colleges do accept the ACT scores, I believe it is fine enough to compesate for my lackluster SATs.
Please do advise me...</p>
<p>Any insight in this matter would be greatly appreciated..please help</p>
<p>^Dartmouth doesn't consider ACT scores without writing, that was probably why you were deffered.</p>
