Is it better to send a high SAT score w/low Subject test scores or a decent ACT score?

Applying to College
1

<p>Vassar College is my dream school (Unfortunately, I can't apply ED because of financial reasons), and my SAT is above their average. However, my subject test scores are pretty crappy. </p>

<p>SAT: CR 760 M 720 W 780 w/10 essay: 2260
But my subject test scores are atrocious... 690 on lit and 630 on math 1</p>

<p>Vassar requires two subject tests OR the ACT, which i scored a 30 on (not that great, but not too terrible).</p>

<p>I'm stuck because my sat is higher and will probably give me a better chance of getting in. Will my low subject test scores hold me back??? Should I send just my act? Or should I send everything - act, sat, AND sat ii?</p>

<p>Also, all other aspects of my application are well in Vassar's range. My essays are pretty good, and I should have some pretty good recs. </p>

<p>Would it significantly hurt my chances if I sent my SAT with these low SAT II scores???</p>

<p>Your ACT will not help you much at Vassar. I’d send the SAT and subject tests. It’s a shame you didn’t retake your subject tests or try different subjects.</p>

<p>@mnm111‌ Thank you for your advice! Hopefully they’ll be willing to compromise on the subject test scores since I think the rest of my application is pretty darn good. </p>
