<p>So I was thinking about whether to focus on the next ACT (score=31) or the next SAT(score=2020). I've looked at Rice's webby before and it said, "submit the SAT or ACT". Well looking on this site: Rice</a> University - Average SAT Scores 96% of applicants send in their SAT scores, while 34% send in their ACT. Well the numbers don't add up, unless you can submit both, but is there a preference that everyone supposedly knows?</p>
<p>Yes, you can submit both. No, Rice does not have a preference as to which test’s scores you send. Otherwise they would either note that preference or only request that test’s scores.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Yes you can submit both. The SAT is just a better known and publicized test, which is why almost everyone takes it. Rice takes the better of the two scores if you submit both</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, Rice has no test preference.
I only took the ACT and was accepted ED this year.</p>
<p>@FallenAngel9: I thought they would state a preference if there was one present too, but the scores vs. the statement… had to make sure. Thanks for the luck, I’ll need it ^^
@Antarius: Right, the percentages say that it is more well known. I thought the huge slant also indicated that it is more well known and preferred.
@academician11: What did you get on the ACT? I don’t know anyone that got accepted this year. Gonna aim for your number, I really hope it isn’t a 36.</p>
<p>25% of the admitted class scored above a 34 while 25% scored below a 31 in 2010 on the ACT</p>

<p>I was rejected with a 34, so aim high. ;)</p>
<p>don’t worry about that ^^ though, I was accepted RD with a 34! i honestly don’t think scores are an end-all-be-all, especially not for Rice, so just send what you have!</p>
<p>Accepted with a 32 so scores really aren’t everything, just aim high</p>
