Hi everyone, I’m a junior and I so far have 2 SAT scores and 1 ACT scores. I know that I will be sending all of my scores due to Stanford’s policy that requires prospective freshmen to send all scores, and I was wondering if I should retake my SATs because they’re kinda low even though I have a ACT score I’m satisfied with?
SATs (2 sittings): 2050 (Reading 690 // Math 660 // Writing 700 // 11 essay)
2070 (Reading 620 // Math 760 // Writing 690 // 9 essay)
ACT (1 sitting): 33C 35E, 30M, 35R, 32S
My counselor told me that if I’m happy with the 33C then I don’t have to worry about retaking my SATs as the admission officers will just take a look at my highest sitting (33C = about 2180-2200)? Is that true? What do you guys think I should do?
I’m pretty satisfied with my ACT score even though it’s not stellar (34+) because I’m planning on going into humanities and I thought my English and Reading scores were good although my STEM scores were pretty bad. I also don’t want to retake the ACT although some people have told me I should take it again at the end of junior year, because I don’t want to get a same/lower score, especially lower scores on the English and Reading section.
Thanks for your help!
