<p>I recently took the SAT and ACT and just got back my scores. My question is, how do colleges evaluate your scores if you send them both tests? (*It's pretty long. Sorry!)</p>
<p>I scored pretty badly on the SAT,
Reading- 620
Math- 670
Writing - 570
Essay - 8</p>
<p>And being the dumb, idiotic junior I am, I had already sent my SAT scores beforehand to the colleges I was looking at.</p>
<p>My ACT was much better:
Composite Score: 35
English -34
Math - 34
Reading - 35
Science - 35
Combined English-Writing :32
Essay- 9</p>
<p>As with the SAT, I sent my ACT scores to the most of the same colleges. </p>
<p>FYI, the schools I had sent them to are Stanford, UW-Madison, Johns Hopkins, University of San Francisco (SAT only) and the University of Chicago (ACT only).
The University of San Francisco was by accident since I didn't realize that UC-San Francisco was a graduate school only and had accidently sent it to the wrong school.
I googled it and I think Stanford, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago and UW-Madison only require one of the tests. I'd really like it if admissions didn't look at the SAT scores at all but I've read somewhere that they still will. I'm considering taking the SAT again in June in order to improve my scores... Would taking a SAT this fall be too late for college applications?</p>
<p>Also, my school has a mandatory ACT testing in March. However, I don't know if I should sent those scores out right away or not. I don't want to jeopardize my scores in case I score lower or anything :P
By the way, in May I'm taking my SAT subjects tests in Biology, Chemistry, and Math I. I'm probably not sending theses scores out as well.
Thanks!</p>
