Sending ACT versus SAT

<p>I gotta 34 on act (straight 34's across) and about a 2100 (780M, 680V, 660W) on the SAT, should I even send the SAT?? I don't have any SAT2's but the schools dont require them if I submit the ACT with writing.</p>

<p>Anyone???</p>

<p>Also I retook the SAT. What would be the minimum score that would make it worth sending. I think most my scores went up.</p>

<p>Depends on which school?</p>

<p>I think an 2200+ SAT would be good, but the 34 is really good at the moment</p>

<p>Did you take the ACT with writing?</p>

<p>i took it with writing (Oct22)
but the writing score hasn't come back yet.</p>

<p>I think I probably got 10,11, or 12 on the essay. So my writing/english combination will either be 32,34 or 35 respectively.</p>

<p>Brown - *
Georgetown - Needs SAT2's
Duke - *
Stanford - *
Pomona - *
Northwestern - *
Williams - (Requires SAT and Two SAT2's OR Act with or without writing)
McGill - (will taken anything)
Vanderbilt - *
BU - *
Michigan - *</p>

<ul>
<li>= (Requires SAT and Two SAT2's OR Act with writing)</li>
</ul>

<p>just send the ACT</p>

<p>Wait a sec? Is the writing factored into your ACT English score--I thought it wasn't?</p>

<p>What are your SAT II's like? If they aren't all 750+, then just sent the ACT.</p>

<p>they give you a seperate score for "writing/english" but it doens't affect your composite score in any way.</p>

<p>i wouls send the act...though i wish i could have your sat score...:)</p>

<p>also...my SAT without writing is a 1460...(I think most of my schools are officially "not looking at the writing section")
I have an itching suspicion this will break 1500 (i find out november 21st)</p>

<p>But the writing is a total crapshoot.....the first time i took it I got a 10 on the essay, maybe like 63 multiple choice, ended up with a 640. The second time I got a 6 on the essay, but perfect score on the multiple choice, and gotta 660. This is kind of a side question, but will they like combine my subscores for writing????</p>

<p>brassmonkey-- Williams requires SAT I or ACT w/ writing, PLUS 2 SAT II's.</p>

<p>for williams</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject or ACT Required (ACT writing optional) </p>

<p>this is from CB</p>

<p>right out of the admissions requirements page. </p>

<p>I hope I'm right (not to trump you, I just don't want to take any more tests)</p>

<p>this is from Williams web site:</p>

<p>"All applicants must take either the SAT or the ACT (American College Testing Program exam), plus any two SAT Subject Tests of the applicant's choice. Students taking the ACT must also submit the optional Writing Test."</p>

<p>sorry....have a look yourself:
<a href="http://www.williams.edu/admission/apply_prepare.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.williams.edu/admission/apply_prepare.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>CB must be wrong</p>

<p>ohhh this is bad</p>

<p>and the deadline for december just passed!</p>

<p>this means i get to pay a ridiculous amount of money to be tested standby.</p>

<p>no wonder CB posts false information. They collect on late and standby testing fees when people like me find out the truth. HAHA</p>

<p>thanks though for the notice, as mad as I am, I have to thank you</p>

<p>sorry to ruin your evening! just stay mad & ace the heck out of the test(s)</p>

<p>......of course, you don't need SAT II's for arch-rival Amherst if you have taken the ACT........</p>

<p>hmmm amherst is sounding good right about now
(nah even I"M not that lazy)</p>

<p>Any good suggestions for SAT2's</p>

<p>I was thinking
Math 1
Literature</p>

<p>I'm very strong in math, but due to my school having major issues, I never made it into pre-calc (although im doing well in AP physics....random)</p>

<p>The science I took last year (environmental) doesn't have a subject test (although I got a 5 on the AP)</p>

<p>I'm good in French, but I'd rather not go up against native speakers. </p>

<p>How different is literature from criticial reading???</p>
