Cornell accepts either ACT or SAT scores, but most applicants send in only SAT. My composite ACT is 35, 35 eng, 35 math, 34 reading, 36 science. My SAT is only 2060, but that was old style which I probably won’t send in. My PSAT which is the new style is 1440/1600, significantly better than the old. My question is should I retake the new SAT to get a good enough score for Cornell so I can submit both ACT and SAT? Or does the college truly see them as equals and it wouldn’t matter?
Will you make National Merit? If so I would retake the SAT to certify your score (for other scores). Otherwise fuggedabout it. Your ACT is what you need to send.
Your ACT score is stronger. Use that. Schools don’t distinguish between the two tests. Use the ACT.
No question, your ACT score is outstanding. There truly is NO preference for one over the other. The ACT now has about half of all US students taking the test. Colleges do not ignore that. It used to be that more kids submitted the SAT, becasue the SAT was the more known test on the East Coast. The only reason to retake the new SAt would be for National Merit, but you need to take it as a junior to qualify.
Colleges don’t prefer one over the other, so just take the ACT. Also, your PSAT score should be out of 1520, just saying. 
yea my bad, in naviance it shows up as 1440/1600 but it’s 1440/1520. btw, can you send in PSAT scores to colleges?
I don’t think colleges have a spot for you to submit PSAT. They also don’t want it because they need an SAT or ACT score and those are what count. PSAT is only good for National Merit.
Colleges don’t care about PSAT, except if you make NMF or other similar level.
Send the ACT! It’s clearly higher, and they really have no preference for one over the other. All universities are required to accept either one, and sending in both doesn’t add anything to your application.
Also, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Cornell does require all test scores(meaning ALL sat or ALL act, not necessarily both), and they don’t allow score choice either. This means that they’d want both the old and the new SAT score.
