I am in the middle of applying to schools for engineering programs and have been using my SAT score of 1440 (R&W: 680, M: 760, W: 18) and am wondering if it would be better for me to send my ACT score. I have a composite score of 32 (E: 34, M: 33, R: 32, S: 29, W: 8). I’ve looked online and it seems that the 32 on the ACT is a better overall score, but will the weak 29 in science hurt me when applying to engineering programs?
Send both.
what if the school only accepts one of the scores?
There is no school of any rank left in the nation that accepts only SAT or only ACT. You should send both, because if you send both, colleges will use to determine admission that test they believe is the better for you.
