Should I have taken both?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I applied to 4 different Ivy League schools and was rejected from all of them. I realize that with the enormous applicant pools they had this year, any given factor could easily have been reason for rejection. However, I am wondering if I was at a disadvantage because I did not take the SAT I. I took the ACT, and, for the schools that required them, SAT IIs. All 4 schools said that the ACT with Writing was acceptable in lieu of the SAT I, but now I wonder if they had a preference after all.</p>

<p>I have scoured countless chance threads on CC, and I have not found a single other Ivy applicant who took only the ACT and not the SAT I.</p>

<p>Thoughts? Any other Ivy applicants out there who took only the ACT?</p>

<p>I’ve heard of many Ivy applicants who were accepted and only took the ACT…
ACT instead of SAT I shouldn’t make a difference</p>

<p>They simply convert your ACT to SAT I score so that’s not why you were rejected. I too know quite a few Ivy admits who never took the SAT I.</p>
