<p>I'm just wondering if i were to submit just my ACT score at a school where 85%-90% of applicant submit the SAT score will it hurt my chance in anyway?</p>
<p>There are lots of discussions on here about this, and the answer seems to be no. There's a parent on here whose daughter got into Yale with just an ACT score, and there plenty more examples I'm sure.</p>
<p>Well that is good news!</p>
<p>anybody else?</p>
<p>Definately no. It would be very unfair to the ACT test-takers. If they say they accept the ACT, they can't give it any disadvantages (or they'd just <em>not</em> accept the ACT). Most schools have scales to convert ACTs to rough SAT equivalents, anywayz.</p>
<p>So how do they convert the SAT to ACT? Is it just the straight-up composite or do they split the Verbal and Math and take the equivalents of each?</p>
<p>Also, is this something one could ask an admissions person?</p>
<p>The conversion depends on the school.</p>
<p>William and Mary told me that even though my ACT is better, I need to submit both scores to be a competitive applicant, because they really do prefer the SAT. I couldn't tell you why; the ACT is a phenominally better test.</p>
<p>Other than that, most schools seem to treat them equally. The only hard part is deciding whether you should submit your SAT transcript for the SATII scores (thus revealing your SATI scores).</p>
