<p>I am applying to some high ranking schools and the trend is that my SAT scores are lower than average compared to my ACT scores. I submitted both but I am hoping they give weight to the higher scores which are my ACT's.</p>
<p>They will take into account whatever they view as the best scores when making the final decisions.</p>
<p>The ACTs are fine. If you do better on the ACT then submit those scores. The top schools will look at either the ACT or the SAT.</p>
<p>Just remember to follow requirements for score submission (some require you send ALL test scores) and SAT IIs.</p>
