Replacing Subject Tests with ACT. I have some questions...can someone help?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I've taken the ACT and the SAT. I scored a 2210 superscore on the SAT and a 33 first time on the ACT but I am planning on taking it again in September. I really want to go to Cornell (who superscores their ACT) and am trying to be recruited as an athlete. Now, I've taken 2 subject tests, Math II (730) and Bio E (today, expecting ~700-730). I'm planning on retaking them again in October because I'm pretty sure those aren't good enough for CALS or ILR. However, I know that you can replace the subject tests with the ACT w/ writing. My question is, if I choose to replace the subject tests with the ACT, will they not really pay attention to the fact I got a 33 (hopefully 35-36 in the fall...36 and 34 subscores already in E and M) and just see it as filling in for the ACT and only pay attention to my SAT as my primary test? Or will they see that, even though I replaced the subject tests with the ACT, my ACT was higher than my SAT and still good.</p>

<p>Advice? Do I take the tests again in the fall or are 700+ on each OK if I have strong SAT and ACT scores already?</p>

<p>I can't take them in June and because I'm planning on applying ED to Cornell for athletics is it worth taking them?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You cannot replace subject test at Cornell with the ACT; you must submit two subject tests regardless of whether you submit SAT or ACT. For a fairly comprehensive list of colleges that require, recommend or consider SAT IIs, which includes a list of those which actually accept the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT IIs, go here and click on the 2013/2014 List download <a href=“http://www.rtsd.org/Page/1574”>http://www.rtsd.org/Page/1574&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
