Should I send 2280/1600 SAT with 35 ACT?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>SAT: 800 M, 800 CR, 680 W (3rd attempt)
ACT: 35 C, 35 E, 34 M, 35 R, 34 S (2nd attempt)
Subject Tests: 730 Math II, 680 Biology</p>

<p>I know that the 2280 and 35 are nearly the same but I think the perfect M+CR would look better than the 35, especially since it's really a 34.5. However, I would have to send both subject tests with the SAT and those are subpar. So my question is will the 2280/1600 SAT be beneficial enough to outweigh the subpar subject tests or should I just stick with the 35 ACT?</p>

<p>If you didn’t take the writing portion of the ACT, you have to send in your SAT scores, as well as two SAT IIs</p>

<p>Sorry, I forgot to list that. My writing score was 8.</p>

<p>Columbia’s website doesn’t state that the student must send subject test with the ACT, they just “welcome” the submission. Question, my daughter has a 34 ACT (9 in the writing), she also has 2 720 results (lit & bio), do these scores help?</p>

<p>@alex12353 I’m assuming that you would like to apply for SEAS (Columbia Engineering), and I think that they prefer to see your SAT Subject Tests in a Math and Science! Might as well submit it all, if that’s the case! Your ACT and SAT are both really strong and your SAT IIs would be required… Good Luck!</p>
