Should I sent both ACT and SAT?

<p>This is the “official” ACT-SAT concordance as determined by the ACT and College Board.</p>

<p>[The</a> ACT® | Estimated Relationship between ACT Composite Score and SAT CR+M+W Score | ACT](<a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html]The”>http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html)</p>

<p>The difference isn’t quite as big as you initially indicated but still the ACT score is comparatively stronger. (And, BTW, all colleges accept both the ACT and the SAT and none require both.)</p>

<p>My slight inclination is to recommend you send both simply to be consistent with your transcripts. Some considerations that could tip my recommendations the other way:</p>

<p>– The cost of sending scores truly is a financial burden to your family (but, if so, you can probably get a cost waiver).</p>

<p>– You have not already sent transcripts and can get the SAT scores removed from your transcript on request (which you should be able to do since they are your scores, not your school’s, but the hassle of doing this might not be worth it).</p>

<p>Your transcript and activities will demonstrate your “well-roundedness”. Having both scores will have no impact on this.</p>

<p>Finally, whatever you decide to do, do it and stop thinking about it. This really is a nearly insignificant issue in the bigger picture of your admission decisions.</p>
