Low math on ACT vs SAT

<p>I'm planning to apply to Wharton, and while my standardized test scores seem fairly good overall, I got a less-than-stellar math score on both.</p>

<p>SAT: 2150 (CR: 780 M: 680 W: 690)
Subject Tests: Math 2: 700, Chemistry: 690
ACT: 34 (Math: 29, English: 35, Reading: 36, Science: 36, Writing: 10)</p>

<p>My ACT score is more impressive than the SAT score overall, but I think the SAT math and Math II scores are... not quite as terrible as my ACT math score. And, since I'm applying to Wharton, I'd expect the math scores to be what adcoms place the most weight on. </p>

<p>Do you think I should submit my SAT with the two subject tests, or the ACT (+ writing)?</p>

<p>Penn’s policy asks that you send ALL of your scores. “However, Penn requires that applicants submit ALL testing results from EACH administration of the ACT, SAT, AND SAT Subject Tests.” I called up admissions twice and e-mailed my regional rep when I was applying ED, and the answer was always the same—you touch the test, you send the score.</p>

<p>Basically, if you touch the test, they expect you to send it. I took the ACT 3 times, and the SAT 3 times, and many subject exams. So, I sent my 3 ACT scores, and the SAT/SAT-II’s (all on one). </p>

<p>You won’t get in/get denied because of these scores, so don’t worry. Take it from someone who got in. :)</p>
