<p>SAT or ACT, which is preferable for admission officers? Does it dependen on difefrent colleges? I saw so many students took SAt, also ACT. Do they submit both of them when they apply colleges? or just just one of them, the higher score one?</p>
<p>thank you for your reply.</p>
<p>Almost no school has a preference. You can take both and send whichever you did better on. If you do similarly, send both and let the admissions officers decide which to consider.</p>
<p>I saw Alummom said " My D likes to apply to 3-4 top level colleges, a couple of which require all SAT/ACT scores to be submitted, ". which top level colleges reqiure both of them?</p>
<p>No college requires both the ACT and the SAT (that I know of). However, if you take both, some colleges want to see the scores of all ACT and SAT tests you take.</p>
<p>
Hm, do you know of any that do have a preference?</p>
<p>No college requires both. </p>

<p>No, I don’t.</p>

Just looked it up. There used to be one hold out, but now every college/university in the US that accepts the SAT also accepts the ACT. There is, of course, the occasional college that doesn’t want to see any standardized test at all (a small but growing movement).</p>
<p>Looking at the 2009 SUS Admissions Tour Matrix for Florida schools, it shows that none of the schools show a preference between the two tests.</p>
<p>Does anybody know if SAT score can be tranfered to ACT score, or vice versa? If yes, how they be transfered?<br>
I wonder how the admission officers evaluate the applicants together when some students take SAT while the others take ACT. They must have an unified standard. </p>
<p>thank you.</p>

<p>Brooklyn College (a CUNY) still requires SAT (only CUNY that does not take ACT). Cal Poly’s prefer ACT. Otherwise, colleges take either without preference. Admissions officers know what they are looking for from either test. There is no “unified standard” among colleges but there is no internal ignorance either, i.e., they know what they are doing with either test so you should not assume they sit around going, “Oh my, how do I compare this ACT to this SAT”; that is not how evaluations are done.</p>
<p>Brooklyn College has no preference and DOES accept the ACT as well. Drusba where did you hear that from?</p>
<p>Someone reported here a while back that they were told they needed SAT for Brooklyn by the college. Also, if you go to its site, Brooklyn says it requires the SAT and does not mention the ACT as an alternative. It seems strange since the other Cuny’s accept ACT and say so on their sites.</p>
<p>All of the colleges I know of have no preference over the SAT or ACT. But the SAT is more well-known, so who knows?</p>
