<p>well if you dont count the writing section on your sat, which some colleges wont your scores are about the same, i would definetly send both if you can spare more money</p>
<p>although most colleges wont say they prefer one over another, i think most east coast/west coast schools prefer the SAT over the ACT becaue of familiarity</p>
<p>Just a little advice about the ACT science section that I found useful...
Don't over-read the explanations. If you do that, you waste a ton of time with a lot of information that isn't terribly important. Just skim the paragraph and data, and then read the question to look for what specifically you need to look for, and then find that section in the data.</p>

<p>This is so true. I wasted my time reading the explanations at first and by the end I didn't even have time to guess on the last few and got a 31. If I had just went straight to the questions I'm confident I would have gotten a 34+.</p>
<p>If the college also takes in to consideration your SAT writing score, it will help you not hinder you. I think you should submit both. But of course if you think there's room for improvement, then retake.</p>
<p>With these scores, is it possible to get into a school along the lines of Harvard, considering that the rest of my application is very, very solid?</p>
<p>It would depend on whether the school you want to go to counts writing or not. If it does, just send in SAT, if it doesn't, then send in the ACT...</p>
