Yale ACT vs. SAT

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm going to be a senior and prepping for the tedious admissions process. The main schools I'm looking at right now is Mit/Columbia/Yale (as my reaches). My question is whether I should submit my ACT, SAT + SATII's, or both.</p>

<p>I know that Columbia takes whichever one is "higher". Yale takes SAT + 3 SAT2's, or just ACT. Here are my scores:</p>

<p>SAT:</p>

<p>780 Verbal
780 WRiting + 12 Essay
790 Math
2350 Total (took it once)</p>

<p>ACT:</p>

<p>34 English
35 Reading
35 Math
35 Science
34 Reading/WRiting Composite (11 writing)
35 <- Total Composite</p>

<p>So what's the verdict? Submit both or just one. Especially for Yale, I've only taken 1 SAT 2 so far (math2c- 800) and don't really wanna have to take 2 more for Yale. Are my ACT's comparable to my SAT scores? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Your scores are pretty much equal... it doesn't matter which you submit. If i were you, i'd submit the ACT so i wouldn't have to take two SAT IIs.</p>

<p>Or you could submit both, with ACTs being your scores to satisfy their requirements. Your SATs are very good, so you may as well get credit for them.</p>

<p>those are very high scores. to show consistency I'd send both.</p>

<p>i'd send both and, if you don't want to worry about SAT II's, send the your ACT score to fill that requirment (as kwijiborjt said) and also send your SAT score, because it's very good.</p>

<p>i agree you should send both...a 35 is supposedly comparable to a 2340 so they're basically the same</p>

<p>Send both.</p>

<p>Both. I've read that Yale kinda looks down on those who only submit the ACT, and even if this isn't true, there's no reason to take the chance given your scores.</p>

<p>My D was accepted to Yale with her ACT alone (and she is from a predominantly SAT private high school). That said, both these scores are excellent, so I recommend sending both. You STILL don't have to send SAT II scores since you're sending ACT score, too, unless you want to. My D did send the SAT II scores she took. She never took the SAT I.</p>

<p>Send both. Don't bother to take 2 more SAT2s.</p>
