send ACT, SAT, or both?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm applying to pretty competitive schools such as Penn (Wharton) and I'm applying with an interest in economics/math/maybe some sciences</p>

<p>My ACT score is really good but my SAT score doesn't really support it. But I also did pretty well on SAT II's. Should I send only ACT, or both?</p>

<p>ACT: 36 (36, 36, 36, 35, 10 writing)</p>

<p>SAT:
1st time ----2270 (800cr, 790m, 680w bcuz of 6 essay)
2nd time----2190 (750cr, 750m, 690w 8 essay)
SAT II: 800mII, 790chem, 770bio</p>

<p>What's ironic is that I posted on this a while back asking if I should retake my 2270 for a better writing score. Most of ya'll replied no. However, I was really cocky thinking I could easily ace CR and M again and improve lots on writing no problem and so I didn't study--bad decision on my part. So I lost 80 pts on SAT which probably means I'm getting dumber :(</p>

<p>So should I submit those SAT's?</p>

<p>Also, what is your guys opinions on SAT vs. ACT? I like the ACT better because it's a shorter test and the essay is at the end where as the SAT is a marathon and the essay is at the beginning when I'm dead tired in the morning before I've gotten a chance to wake up.</p>

<p>Well, they're going to see your SAT scores because you're submitting SAT II scores, but put your ACT score on the application. They always consider the highest anyway.</p>

<p>I like the ACT better too, because the SAT is just plain dumb. I don't mind an essay at the beginning, though. I love to write and it wakes up my brain. Reading boring passages puts me to sleep. I only skim them!</p>

<p>hey, thanks for the reply!</p>

<p>Most of my schools don't require SAT II's so I don't have to send SAT at all.</p>

<p>Also, do you have to self-report all of the scores that show up on your SAT score report? Because I wouldn't want to self-report that retake score.</p>
