<p>Hello,
Is it a big deal if someone only sent ACT scores and not SAT scores? I was thinking about this yesterday and realized that sending only ACT scores would leave off my SAT subject scores. Would Harvard (or any other Ivy/prestigious school) care about scores listed on the Common App if they don't receive an official report? Is it advisable to send ACT only? How have people fared when they only send ACT and no subjects?
Thanks,

<p>Edit: Err, I barely saw that Harvard requires the Subjects... but the question still stands for other Universities that don't require Subjects. Is it always better to send them (providing they are 700+)?</p>
<p>You’ve probably noticed that there are more SAT takers for Harvard and similar schools than ACT takers.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, Harvard AO’s have no preference to either test, according to a personal conversation I had with an AO in the admissions building. She also said that there have been significantly more ACT applicants than SAT ones recently, with no correlation as to student caliber.</p>
<p>However if you don’t submit sat subject tests then you can’t get accepted into Harvard. You won’t even be considered because you have an incomplete application.</p>
