<p>How does a 34 ACT and no SAT look to HYPS, Columbia, etc?</p>
<p>a 34 is definitely “good enough” for any school. But I would still take the ACT, just to be safe.</p>
<p>A 34 on your ACT is awesome! Was it your first time taking it? I would still take the SAT though.</p>
<p>Yes, a 34, in combination with great essays, GPA and EC’s, is adequate for admission in any school. Good luck!</p>
<p>34 will look great to any school that takes the act. if you need to know how those specific colleges feel, there is a great college search function at the official college board site that can help. <a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board; (moderators if we cant link to CB pls just let me know, I don’t want to break any rules)</p>
<p>They may still want to see SAT II’s, I don’t know. I hear officially it’s either SAT I + SAT II’s or ACT, but I don’t think the ACT includes much material equivalent to the SAT II stuff.</p>
<p>haha this is me in a nutshell. how do you think this with a 34 act only (and sat 2s will fare?)
