<p>I’ve gotten SO many conflicting answers from Penn.</p>

<p>I went to the admissions office today and the guy told me SAT1 with writing and two SAT2’s.</p>

<p>Is this right?</p>

<p>We were told at the tour that we could take ACTs to replace SAT2s. Then I read we could take ACTs to replace BOTH SAT1 and SAT2s. The guy at the office today said that only midwestern people take ACTs.</p>

<p>WHAT SHOULD I DO!?</p>

<p>My tutor said that if I can take the ACTs to replace the SATs that I definately should because ACTs are much easier.</p>

<p>And I need to register soon.</p>

<p>Also, could someone tell me how to rush scores?</p>

<p>Fom the 2005-2006 admission instructions:</p>

<ol>
<li>Results of the SAT I with writing and two SAT II:
Subject Tests or the ACT with writing requested to be
sent directly to Penn. Penn’s school code for SAT scores
is 2926; for ACT scores it is 3732.</li>
</ol>

<p>Instructions for rushing scores are on the websites of the respective testing companies:</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>That's very vague though. </p>

<p>Does the ACT replace BOTH SATs or just the subject tests?</p>

<p>Should I take all three?</p>

<p>Don't you kids learn to parse sentences in the 5th grade anymore? </p>

<p>Notice the "or" between the two clauses? </p>

<p>You have:</p>

<p>The results of ... (of what?)</p>

<p>the SAT I with writing and two SAT II:Subject Tests</p>

<p>"or"</p>

<p>the ACT with writing</p>

<p>requested to be sent directly to Penn.</p>

<p>Note that this corresponds with what you were told on the tour and by the guy in admissions.</p>

<p>^yep, thts probably right</p>

<p>He didn't have to be a snob about it.</p>

<p>It could have been</p>

<p>the SAT I with writing</p>

<p>"and"</p>

<p>two SAT II: Subject tests OR ACT with writing.</p>
