<p>Okay, I know UPenn will take either the SAT and two subject tests, or the ACT. I got a 2040 on my SAT (760 writing, 660 CR, 620 math), and a 28 on my ACT. I sent both, thinking they would just consider the ACT score. I just got back my SAT subject tests (690 Lit, 660 Bio M). Considering my SAT score, whether it's better than my ACT score, should I submit my SAT subject tests so they consider the SAT I score????? I need to do it soon because Jan. was the last date they would accept them.
"the SAT (which includes the Critical Reading, Math, and Writing sections) and two SAT Subject Tests
OR</p>
<p>the ACT Plus Writing" ~from the Penn Website</p>
<p>If you want a serious shot a penn you should probably retake some of those tests. Study more for the act and take it again so you won’t have to take subject tests.</p>
<p>Well I can’t because that was the last date. If I’m sending scores, I need to send them now. I know my chances aren’t high, but what scores will give me the best chance? Should I send the subject tests so they consider the SAT I, or just let them look at the ACT?</p>
<p>Based on the scores you are showing, I would report the SAT scores (which would require submission of the subject tests). The ACT/SAT concordance tables show that your 1280 (CR/M) is roughly equal to the 28 ACT. Your writing score is closer to a 33 equivalent for the ACT plus writing and you don’t say how well you did for the ACT “Combined English/Writing”. Either way your overall score is barely at the 25% level with the math in particular 70 points below the 25% for Penn.</p>
