Let's see know - ACT alone, or SAT as well?

<p>Not a 'chance me' post. And yes, I realize Reed is not a numbers school in the strictest of senses, it's about fit, etc. This is just a little bit of paranoid application minutiae, but I'd like an opinion or two.</p>

<p>Basically, I sent my ACT's, and was advised to leave it at that by my councilor. 33 composite, ranged from 28 in math to 36 in critical reading for the subscores. Now, my SAT's, which I did not send: 2140 overall, 1400 on a 1600 scale. More impressive on the 2400 scale, as you can see, and as it seems Reed remains on traditional footing with the test, perhaps it was the right decision.</p>

<p>But if I am trying to emphasize consistency, would it not make sense to send my SAT's as well? It's not like they are crummy.</p>

<p>You'll have to decide, but maybe looking at Reed</a> College 2008-09 Common Data Set SecC section C9 will help.</p>

<p>I'd send both to all of your colleges. Colleges mean it when they say they'll use the scores that help you most.</p>
