Which Scores Should I Send??

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>So I took the SATs 3 times
Math, Cr, Writing
1. 700 730 750
2. 790 680 680
3. 710 740 690</p>

<p>ACT: 35
Eng: 35 Math: 33 Reading: 36 Science: 34 Combined Eng/Writ: 33</p>

<p>Math IIC: 800</p>

<p>I was thinking of sending in both SAT and ACT. My scores really fluctuate since I never prepped for any of the tests. Would admissions officers be suspicious? Which scores should I send? Which would look best for MIT? Or does MIT want all of the scores?</p>

<p>35 does look better. If u send all your SATs, MIT will super- score it to a (750+790+740) = 2280. </p>

<p>Either way, MIT will use the score that makes u look best. Technically sending all your score can only help you.</p>

<p>You need 2 subject tests for MIT.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if you do need two SAT-II subject tests (math and science) if you submit the ACT scores. Mollie?</p>

<p>Yes, applicants need two subject tests (math + science), regardless of whether they choose to take the ACT or the SAT.

But as to the original question, as Djkovic says, MIT will use only the scores that make you look best. Since we don’t know the ACT-to-SAT conversion, it’s to your advantage to send all of your scores and let MIT decide which to use (unless one set of scores is clearly better than the others and you want to save the money it costs to send them!).</p>
