<p>I live in the Midwest, where the ACT is more commonly used. I am applying to some Midwestern schools, but mostly East Coast schools (Yale, NYU, Harvard, Tufts). I know they say that ACT and SAT are treated the same, but I want your input. Which one should I take?</p>
<p>I see no reason not to take the Admissions office at their word. Blow out the ACT -- I wouldn't sweat the SATs if I did that. Good luck to you</p>
<p>Thanks for your input.
Anyone else??</p>
<p>I got in with ACT (but along with 4 SAT IIs), but there's a recent thread somewhere in which a person reported of getting in this year with only ACT. So you are definitely fine! Don't worry about all the SAT-ACT preference thing! When they say they have no preference, they really mean it!</p>
<p>So would you recommend taking SAT II's and the ACT if you don't want to take the SAT? I could handle that...lol.</p>
<p>But when you said one kid got in with just the ACT, it makes me worry that he might be one in a few...but maybe not...maybe I'm just overreacting...that's kind of how I roll.</p>
<p>D was accepted to the Class of '09 with just the ACT.</p>
<p>Read the Yale requirements - I believe if you take the ACT you are not required to take any SAT IIs.</p>
<p>I was the one who posted my S got in with ACT only. He applied EA when he had a 30. Two weeks later he found out he rec'd a 33 on the recent test and forwarded that. He did not submit any SAT II's or SAT. He was accepted EA.</p>
<p>I have been to 2 admission sessions, at each one they said with an ACT, they do NOT require SAT II.</p>
<p>Take the one you'll do better on. That's all. Yale really doesn't care which you take.</p>
