SAT IIs vs ACT

<p>I have a quick question. I took the SAT I and my score was 1430. I also got a 32 on the ACT. Additionally I took two SAT IIs and got a 750 on Writing and 720 on Math IIC. </p>

<p>My concern is that I didn’t take three SAT IIs. I know it isn’t required that I take three provided I have an ACT, but I’m still thinking it might be frowned upon. What do you think?</p>

<p>As a more general question, what kind of chances do I have at regular decision acceptance? I have very few extracurriculars (only 2 good ones), but I’m 8th in my class of 400 and I take lots of honors courses. I also feel that my essays are pretty solid, and I do clerical work at a real estate company, which might help me a little (I’m applying at the Wharton school).</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your input.</p>

<p>take a third sat2 and rush it
are you urm? where from?</p>

<p>eh , go for it, your not at terrible risk of being rejected, the usual dice roll im assuming.</p>

4

<p>I'm not URM, and I'm from New Hampshire. </p>

<p>I'd be a lot more confident in my chances of acceptance if I had taken more ECs. Oh well, too late now.</p>

<p>i decided to do seas fallback instead of wharton because i thought i had a better chance at seas (im planning on doing both anyways)
i had a 1440 projected from psat but i only took act - I got 2 34s that were balanced differently</p>

<p>i sent 2 acts(29 35 35 36 and 34 34 36 32) and my math2c (750) (I have results from writing and physics now, but im in so no need to send)</p>

<p>What kind of ECs did you have?</p>
