<p>I am applying to Harvard ( ACT + 3 subject) , Yale (ACT) , Brown( ACT + 2 highest subject) , UPENN(ACT), and Stanford later today most likely.</p>
<p>(What I think I should do what do you think?)</p>
<p>What scores do I send to which institutions?</p>
<p>My ACT Score: 28, 24, 25
SAT Scores: 1760, 1750, 1650
SAT 2: Math 2: 590 BIO: 690 US History: 690</p>
<p>What do you think is my best option with the whole score choice deal and which to send where?</p>
<p>I was thinking just sending ACT everywhere because I don't really want to pay extra to send subject test because they aren't that good and have the "whole score choice" problem on my hands. IDK though.</p>
<p>What does your high school guidance counselor recommend you do? You should ask all of these questions next week when you go back to school.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I’d send your highest SAT scores, assuming 1760 (and the 1750) is your Math+Verbal only.</p>
<p>I am not sure your highest ACT of 28 is good enough - again, check with your H.S. counselor. The scores of 24 and 25 will almost certainly be too low.</p>
<p>What do the Ivy’s require - what do their web sites say? Do you need to send both?</p>
<p>The SAT subject scores for BIO and History look very good, I’d consider sending those, go ahead and “splurge” for the $9 fee to send the individual scores - it’s not that much money.</p>
<p>Check the Ivy League forum on this web site also, at least that’s what I would do.</p>
<p>I don’t go back to school till Jan 11th… Moreover, no… those are just my terrible SAT scores haha. </p>
<p>My dilemma is I DO not want to send my Sat I. Harvard, and Brown do score choice, but Penn and Yale do not.</p>
<p>The schools will take eithier the ACT or SAt + subject tests. Sending in the subject tests won’t hurt, but I don’t want to seem like I’m hiding my 590 on my other math sat two or my really bad SAT scores.</p>
<p>Do you get what I’m saying? (I know my scores are low for the schools, I am counting on my good GPA, good EC, good Recs, good essays, URM status and 1st gen to make up for it)</p>
<p>I’d just send the ACT. Face it: Standardized testing is not your strongest suit. Just send the minimum required and spend your time working on your essays.</p>
<p>Well…I am not quite sure what you’re asking. It’s definitely better to send your ACT score than your highest SAT score (converting ACT to SAT should come out to a 1930-1980 assuming 28 on all sections), but you seem to have figured that out already…</p>
<p>Are the deadlines for the Ivies right now, or next week? Why can’t you wait until Jan 11th to simply ask your counselor if you’re realistically able to even consider getting into an Ivy League school… (unless you already have done that, forgive me if they already gave you a green light, so-to-speak).</p>
<p>The Ivies are just so so competitive to get into, unless you’re a legacy of some kind or there’s something else in your background (you’re a star athlete or have “demographics” on your side) it doesn’t matter that your other activities and GPA make up for the fact that you’re not a stellar standardized test taker, for example.</p>
<p>Go ahead and apply, my concern is to not be too disappointed if you get bad news when letters are mailed out. “Dream” all you want but be realistic as well.</p>
<p>And do check the Ivy League forum here, I think your questions regarding whether you’re a candidate at all would be better answered there.</p>
