<p>hello everyone, i have a quick question. i took the SAT 1 and didn't do too hot on in 1930 in fact but i did do much better on my ACT a 31. i'm thinking of using that score to apply to a few Ivies but problem is that most demand SAT 2 scores also. since they'll see my SAT 1s will that hurt my chances considerably? or will they use my highest score? My SAT 2s aren't bad and i have killer AP scores also. i know that scores aren't the be all and end all but i would like some feedback... thanks a lot!!!</p>
<p>Brown, Penn, and Yale all allow substitution of the ACT score. Do you have your heart set on applying to specific other Ivies?</p>
<p>Schools SAY they look at the highest score vis-a-vis the ACT or SAT. I don't know that, human nature being the way it is, they can completely disregard a score if they have it before them. Imagine two applicants, equal in everything including their high ACT score. One scored better on the SAT. Which applicant is chosen?</p>
<p>You can report AP scores without sending SAT scores; it is a separate score report. Actually, for most college applications, it is my understanding you self-report the AP scores, leaving the official report for the school at which you matriculate.</p>
