Sending only ACT scores, not SAT - good idea?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>My ACT scores are much higher than my SAT scores, and I wanted to report them exclusively to colleges. However, one college has already told me they received my SAT scores. I never sent them and my school swears they never sent them either...does the college board sell SAT scores to colleges? How else is this possible?</p>

<p>I'm asking the college to ignore the SAT scores (which aren't bad, just not nearly as good as my ACT), but I'm wondering if this is even a good idea.
Do colleges only look at your highest test - even between the two different exams? Will other colleges weigh their decision more heavily on my ACT scores than SAT scores, even if I submit both? Or will my SAT score negatively impact my application?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>I have the similar problem but the other way around. In the common application I’m putting all my scores in (the good and the bads) but I don’t want to spend money sending ACT, I just want to send my SAT (I & II) scores. Do you think colleges would mind?</p>

<p>yeah… I have a better ACT score too…
I think if it is the top schools, most send their sats…</p>

<p>I am sending both, but mine aren’t terrible, my sats are just a bit better</p>
