SAT/ACT Advice

Applying to College

<p>Hey guys, I have a pretty specific problem I need help on.</p>

<p>I took the ACT once and the SAT twice. Both time I took the SAT I got the same score of 2120, which is nothing impressive for the high-caliber schools Im applying to. But for the ACT I scored a 35 which is good, I think. In addition, I have a couple of 800s on my SAT IIs.</p>

<p>My question is, should I still report and send my SAT scores? The pros to this is that they will see my good SAT II scores. But the con is that they see my bad SAT I score. Or should I send the colleges my SAT score report, but not self-report the SAT I scores? Im worried that when some of these schools see my SAT I scores they are going to think I just got lucky on the ACT and that will take away from the spectacularness of the ACT score. </p>

<p>I wish there was a way to only send SAT II scores and not SAT I. </p>

<p>Thanks ahead of time!</p>

<p>For those of you that want to see the whole story, you can chance me! You know you want to!

<p>It’s not possible to send in SAT subject tests a part from SAT I test scores? Anyway, I would send in your ACT scores. Scoring above a 33 is considered exceptional and it looks impressive. Your 35 is even more impressive and I imagine that you have a great GPA. Looking at a scaling chart might help you decide which score is better to report. Although it’s not perfectly accurate, a 35 rates higher than 2120 on the SAT. As far as sending in all of your scores, aside from the cost, I am not sure how schools would look at it. They may take into consideration whichever test makes you most competitive. This may be a good option for you. If the applicant pool is putting up SAT scores above 2120, but ACT scores below 33, then your ACT will make you competitive. If its the opposite, then your SAT scores will make you competitive. Just a thought.</p>
