Hey everyone, so I'm just finalizing all my apps and getting ready to send everything out.

Back in March I took the SAT and got a 2110, which was all right, I suppose, and I kind of dropped it. However, this month I felt guilty about that score (thought I could do better) so I signed up for the December SAT and ACT dates and took them both.

I was totally flabbergasted to see that I got a 35 on the ACT. Obviously now I'm going to send in that score to colleges.

However, I also improved on the SAT (got a 2170, improved by at least +10 on each section). So my question is: should I bother to resend my SAT scores to show the new one, and demonstrate my efforts to improve, or should I just send my ACT score and be done with it?

Any thoughts are super-appreciated.

Your SAT scores are pretty good, but honestly, I think colleges would care more about your ACT score. An "improvement" of +10 doesn't really say much.

Personally, I would send in both. It's more advantageous in case they also want to see improvement or anything like that.

For the colleges that don't require SAT II's and accept ACT scores, don't bother sending SAT scores at all; that 35 will hold its water.
