<p>My SAT score is a 2310 superscored over 2 sittings (800CR, 730M, 780W), but my ACT is a 33. I took the ACT after the SAT as well (in October) just to see how well I could do. I'm worried that the ACT score might negatively affect my application.</p>
<p>Will Stanford disregard the 33 on the ACT and consider only my SAT scores?</p>
<p>Your ACT score is excellent, as is your SAT. Your standardized test scores will not be a deciding factor in your admissions decision.</p>
<p>Relax; you’re doing just fine.</p>
<p>^ I would say “standardized test scores will not be the only deciding factor”.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure if you’re at a 2200+ SAT or 33+ ACT your test scores won’t limit you from getting into any school anywhere.</p>
<p>It’s not as black and white as a score above x is qualified, and a score below x goes in the trash bin. Instead chance of acceptance gradually improves as scores go up and keeps increasing throughout the spectrum up to the maximum. However, that increase in chance of acceptance may be quite small. I think many on this site overemphasize the importance of test scores and underemphasize the importance of non-stat portions of the application. A more complete statement is whether Stanford considers 2310 superscored SAT, the individual SAT tests, or a combination of SAT + ACT is unlikely to change the original poster’s admissions decision. Answering the original poster’s question, Stanford’s website states:</p>
<p>"Applicants must self-report and submit all SAT scores and all ACT scores.
For the SAT, we will focus on the highest individual Critical Reading, Math and Writing scores from all test sittings.
For the ACT, we will focus on the highest Composite and the highest Combined English/Writing scores from all test sittings."</p>
<p>They would not require applicants to submit all scores, if they did not consider both the SAT and ACT scores. They say they focus on the highest subscores, so I expect they’d also focus on the higher of the SAT vs ACT.</p>
<p>you are not your standardized test scores!</p>
<p>Data10 said it better than I did. Listen to him.</p>
<p>Also, Data10, did you get that PM I sent you a few days ago?</p>
