<p>I already sent my SAT to my schools. Here's the final breakdown (after 3 times oct, nov, dec '15): 600 writing, 610 reading, 670 math</p>

<p>Here are my ACT scores (1st time, no study): 24 eng, 28 math, 25 reading, 34 science (had 1 min to do last 5 questions), essay not out</p>

<p>My top colleges: Lehigh, Lafayete, Villanova, F&M</p>

<p>Will it be in my benefit to send my scores?</p>

<p>Look at the Common Data Sets (section C) for each school. Each school’s CDS gives you 25%-75% range of both SAT and ACT scores. It will give you a better idea of where your scores stand in relation to the specific schools in question. As a general rule of thumb, it is best to submit scores that are 50% or higher than the average (if you have a choice).</p>

<p>Also, the CDS has a table that will give you an idea of how heavily each school weighs class rigor, GPA, test scores, recommendations, etc. when making admissions decisions.</p>

<p>I would not send. It’s the science that is bringing up your ACT composite score. Without the science, your composite is significantly less than the SAT. With the science, it’s the same. </p>
