<p>First, SATs and ACTs are looked at the same way - we have conversion charts that can compare scores across exams. </p>
<p>Second, at Hopkins test scores are not a determining factor so they don’t play as much importance as you all think they do.</p>
<p>Third, my comments previously were in relation to how we report our average SAT, average ACT for our website and other sources. Average SATs are combined over various exams, whereas average ACT is based on highest combined from one specific exam.</p>
<p>Last, with both SAT and ACT we look at all scores - totals and for each section. When we evaluate applications we consider everything we can see, so even though we report highest combined for ACT it does not mean we don’t look at subject areas over various exams.</p>
