<p>I finished applying to all of my schools two weeks ago (Duke, Vanderbilt, WashU, Northwestern, and a few safety schools all RD.) </p>
<p>However, I had never taken the SAT. I found out in September that I was a National Merit Semi-Finalist. I live in Illinois, where the ACT is more prevalent than the SAT. To be considered for finalist status, I needed to take the SAT, which I had never done, and get a score somewhere near 2150. </p>
<p>The scores for the October test came out today and I did better than expected, especially for being unprepared (I basically went in with only the PSAT under my belt.) My scores are decent but weird. </p>
<p>Reading- 800
Writing- 800
Math- 680
for a total of 2280, if you, like me, aren't great at math. </p>
<p>When I took the ACT, my scores were as follows.
English: 35
Math: 32
Reading: 34
Science: 34
for a composite of 34. I already sent this score to all of my schools. </p>
<p>My questions is as follows. </p>
<p>Is it worth it for me to send my SAT score along with my ACT score? It may look impressive that I got two 800s but I'm seriously worried about my math score and I think my ACT math is a lot more consistent. It also might be good for colleges to know that my SAT score is gonna be high enough for possible National Merit Finalist status, but isn't a 2280 very similar to a 34 anyways? </p>
<p>Any insight would be very much appreciated. Thanks very much. (:</p>
