<p>I see no reason not to take schools at their word. If they say they have no preference, they don't. They could have a preference if they wanted to. In fact, many used to, then changed them. I think the lingering effect of what used to be true (what used to be recommended) is what is causing your gut feeling.</p>

<p>I would think that if most schools had a preference, they would like the ACT better. Recently, a lot of people have been saying the ACT is a much better test and the SAT is getting less and less accurate.</p>
