Question about SAT for W&M

Colleges and Universities A-Z College of William and Mary

<p>My daughter only submitted her ACT scores which was a composite of 33. Her SATs were 1420 (2200 if you count all three sections). Would it help her chances if she sends the SATs in at this stage?</p>

<p>Congrats on the ACT - nice score, and it’s above W & M’s 75th percentile. If you look at this score comparison ( [SAT-ACT</a> Conversion chart](<a href=“http://teachers.sduhsd.k12.ca.us/lccounseling/sat-act_conversion_chart.htm]SAT-ACT”>http://teachers.sduhsd.k12.ca.us/lccounseling/sat-act_conversion_chart.htm) ), you’ll see that a 33 ACT is equivalent to a 2190 SAT (or a 1460-1500 in the pre-writing version). I’ll be curious to see what W & M Admissions says; however, I wouldn’t bother to send the SAT result unless her ACT was lopsided in a way the SAT was not.</p>

<p>Good luck! I presume your d is OOS, which is a challenging RD admit. It’s more than a numbers game at W & M, but it never hurts to have great numbers. :)</p>

<p>I would send it, the 2200 is roughly equal to a 33, so it shows that the 33 for the ACT is not just a lucky testing day.</p>

<p>The 33 ACT equates to a 1460 SAT (Critical Reading and Math) so it’s slightly higher however it would not hurt her to submit the SAT as well since it’s still a very fine score.</p>

<p>Both scores are at the top end (or slightly above the top end in the case of the ACT) of our middle 50% range so both are seen as excellent and will be considered a positive in your daugher’s review process.</p>

<p>We sent both SAT and ACT to all S’s schools. He did equally well on both and as others have said it shows he didn’t have a lucky testing day.</p>

<p>Thank you. Sent today. Should my daughter send an email informing Admissions? Worried that her file was already reviewed.</p>

<p>NewJerseyMom, she can fax a copy of her score report to 757-221-1242. No worries. Even if her file has already begun the review process, we have her highest score (her ACT) which is all that matters. We would never question an applicant’s standardized testing so we don’t need an SAT to back-up a good ACT or vice-versa</p>
