<p>Frankly, I'm confused that I only scored an 1800 on my SAT, but a 31 on my ACT. My academic profile is very excellent for Ivy League applications, but I'm scared that only sending in my 31 would look bad to admissions...?
Would top universities look down upon seeing a high ACT and a low SAT?</p>
<p>Yes. Some people, including myself, do get much higher ACT scores than SAT scores (36 ACT, 2040 -T.T- SAT). Unless you are applying to schools that do not have score choice or do not take ACT scores (Princeton), you should only send in ACT score. But the best option is to retake both tests because your ACT score may be good compared to your SAT score, it is not stellar.</p>
<p>I personally think you’ll be alright just sending in your ACT’s (assuming you arent send your SATs) I dont know what the Ivies would say but with any other university a 31 is excellent and an 1800 is well-above the average.</p>
<p>
A 31 will probably not get you into an Ivy league anyway, but there’s no harm in only sending an ACT and no SATs. What i’m saying is that if you are declined with only an ACT, it has nothing to do with the fact that you only sent an ACT.</p>
<p>Princeton takes the ACT…</p>

<p>Woot! wasted my life studying for the SAT - not really…</p>
<p>You are still in pretty bad shape with a 31.</p>
<p>Well, the 31 was from my sophomore year, so I’m assuming I’ll do better this year. I’ve been taking practice tests and receiving at least 32’s and 33’s now.</p>

<p>What an absurd statement.</p>
