Hi everyone! I'm a high school junior and I've taken both the SAT and ACT. I've heard that some colleges accept either score, but I'm wondering if it's possible to submit both scores to show my strengths in different areas. Does anyone from collegevine or anyone who's been through the process have any advice? Thank you!
Hello! It's great that you've taken both the SAT and ACT, as it definitely gives you more options when applying to colleges. Yes, you can submit both your SAT and ACT scores to colleges. Many colleges accept either test, and some even welcome seeing both scores if they highlight your strengths in different areas. However, it's essential to understand the policies of the specific colleges you're applying to, as some may have preferences or requirements regarding the test scores they accept. It's always a good idea to visit the college's admissions website or contact their admissions office for clarification on their policy. As a general rule, if submitting both scores will give a more comprehensive picture of your academic abilities, it could be beneficial to provide both. Best of luck with your college applications!
